Experience

Dispatches from real environments.

Not a role history — short reports from places where the work actually happens. The floor of a restaurant, an exhibition hall, a two-day wedding.

"The people who taught me the most about business rarely called it that."
2026
The Shoe Inn Gastro Pub, Romsey

Restaurant & Bar Floor Manager

Run the floor during service — table flow, kitchen-floor coordination, opening and closing. Made me noticeably faster at reading a room under pressure.

2026–Present
University of Southampton

Student Ambassador

Show prospective students around and answer the questions that don't have official answers. Good practice at being useful on the spot, without a script.

2024–2025
Eventage Trade Fair & Events (CONWOO Exhibition)

Business Development Intern

150+ outbound calls a day inviting architects and designers to an exhibition, plus live event support. Turned cold outreach from intimidating into routine.

2025
Dec&Deets Event Management, Lataguri

Event Operations Assistant (Freelance)

Coordinated a two-day, four-function wedding alongside a crew I'd just met. Taught me that teamwork often comes from shared urgency, not formal structure.

2023–2025
Self-employed, Siliguri

Social Media Coordinator (Freelance)

Built content strategy from scratch for several early-stage clients at once. Grew visibility by over 50% and followers by up to 40% across accounts.

2020–2022
Teen Queue (self-founded)

Podcast Host & Content Producer

Built a youth media platform from zero — 50+ episodes produced, hosted and edited myself. Audience grew ~30% through a fireside chat series.

2020–2025
Self-employed, Siliguri

Private Tutor

Taught five students one-to-one at once. Average 20% improvement in six months, all five in the top 10% of their class.

Community & Leadership

The unpaid work that shaped the paid work.

Volunteering, elected roles, and club leadership — a lightweight ledger of the places where I first learned to run things, represent people, and be useful when nobody was going to grade me on it.

MSc Management & AI, University of Southampton
Elected Course Representative

Voice for the cohort in programme decisions — the person who has to actually raise the awkward question.

Instilt Educate
Social Media Manager & Tutor

Content and tutoring for an educational NGO — turning learning material into something students actually wanted to open.

Rotaract Club, Inspiria Knowledge Campus
Public Relations Officer

Ran the club's external voice — press, partners, and the Pitch Fest win at UDDHAV.

Inspiria Knowledge Campus
Academic Co-Chair

Peer-support role — helped classmates navigate coursework and represented the student side to faculty.

Rotaract Club
Community Welfare Volunteer

On-the-ground community drives — the kind of work that resets what you think 'a busy week' means.

Model United Nations
Chief Managing Officer

Logistics, registration, and keeping the machine running while everyone else was debating.
