Before joining Cordis Bright, Samyukta worked for social organisations like U&I, Seva in Action, and Arpita Foundation. Prior to pursuing her second masters degree, she worked as a counsellor for Hibiscus Foundation of Social Work, a youth-based organisation working for mental health advocacy.

As part of her MSc in Counselling Psychology, she co-authored a study on self-esteem among Tik-Tok users and nonusers, which she presented at a national-level conference. Her dissertation examined the relationship between self-regulation learning strategies and academic procrastination in young adults, to better examine environmental and social influences of academic procrastination. Samyukta’s dissertation at the University of Glasgow focused on analysing a psychometric measure of emotion differentiation.

Samyukta’s research skills include:

• Analysing quantitative data, and large datasets using Excel, SPSS, and R.
• Analysing existing literature to identity gaps in research and producing in-depth reviews of literature.
• Psychometrics, designing and undertaking survey research and interviews.
