I serve as a visiting faculty member at Rachol Seminary and hold a Master’s degree in History from Goa University, along with a Licentiate in Church History from Holy Cross University in Rome.

Deeply passionate about Indo-Portuguese history and the history of the Universal Church, I am particularly drawn to exploring and writing about the contribution of Catholicism in shaping our country and its wider global influence. A contextual and historically grounded understanding of Christianity, I believe, can illuminate important dimensions of our shared past and foster a deeper, more informed appreciation of the Christian tradition.
