Short curriculum vitae

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai, India. Following which, I pursued a Master's degree in Psychology at Annamalai University in Tamil Nadu, India. My interest in German as a foreign language led me to pursue the Grünes Diplom (German Teacher Training Program) at the Goethe-Institut in Mumbai, where I also worked as a German language teacher and teacher's trainer. In 2023 I completed my Master's in Applied Linguistics at the University of Erfurt. My Master's Thesis compared the processing and understanding of the genitive vs. dative cases in leichte Sprache (easy German texts) by learners of German as a foreign language.
