Being the first child born in the US from my Indian family, I have always loved experiencing other cultures through travel, food, and media. This interest has helped me develop into a creative problem solver that approaches cases from various perspectives.I grew up in Coppell, Texas, just outside of Dallas. As a kid, watching my mom start her own business from the ground up, I knew I wanted to work somewhere in the world of business, however, it was my love for analytics that led me to want to major in finance and analytics here at IU. I was the kid always digging through players’ stats and data trying to put together the best fantasy football team. Sports also played a large role in shaping me as a person. Playing soccer growing up, I’ve always enjoyed being part of a team. With how crucial collaboration is in the business world, learning how to work well with others, contribute to team success, and building a good work ethic has been extremely valuable. After college I look to work as a financial analyst at a company that provides me with plenty of opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.
