My story telling journey began when I started narrating & reading stories to my son and his friends. They turned me into a story teller!!
After having done my Masters in Business Administration from ICFAI business University Hyderabad and working with Corporates like Dell International Services & Deloitte as an HR Professional, I shifted gears and found my love for stories & children. I was always fond of children & they were equally fond of me and storytelling served as the right bridge which helped me reach many of them.
From there on I realized that I was finding joy & happiness in narrating stories to them as much as they were delighted & enjoyed my stories. I took up a professional course in storytelling to get better at my craft & since then there was no looking back , every day is a new learning , new opportunity & new stories .
I have been actively involved in story telling in schools & community areas both in India & UK.
Some of the highlights of my work are below:
