About Me

I am an MS student in Agricultural Extension and Rural Development at Gazipur Agricultural University, with a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries. My work combines district-level experience in aquaculture value chains and grassroots extension with quantitative data analysis and computational approaches.

As a Research Assistant on the HEAT Sub-Project (PIN 11043), I study social adaptation and institutional responses in crops, livestock, and fisheries. I contribute to structured surveys, interviews, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), data management, analysis, and research reporting.

My interests include fisheries extension, rural livelihood diversification, farmer technology adoption, and agricultural resilience. I seek research and professional opportunities to develop scalable, evidence-based extension models for smallholder communities.
