Clubs, organizations & involvement

I currently am not enrolled in any but I have participated in the DotData hackathons and community events. I also look forward to applying to the Finance Capital asset management club as well as the AI club!

Describe your college experience

I have had a great time in college so far! The initial transition was tough as everyone felt like a complete stranger, but branching out with my roommate and meeting new people through the community events certainly helped!

Tip for future students

Don't stress about college. The first week might seem tough, but you will eventually find your way. Don't feel demotivated at any time!

Favorite class

I enjoyed English 100. Our professor always incorporated group activities in our class through which I also met some of my friends. Another class I enjoyed was discrete math. Studying it was extremely hard and the exams always stressed me out! However, I met one of my closest friends to date in that class and we often bonded over how hard the homework was.

Career goals

I hope to lead a successful career in the intersection of finance and tech and also make a good impact on the world.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I would love to go play basketball with my friends towards the start. Once I head home, ideally, I would kick back and relax while watching a horror movie.
