ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ

Ever since I joined the University of New Haven, I have been actively involved in the Charger community. Right away, I started participating in activities and events. The first one was International Fest (IFest) 2021. I have been representing India and the Indian Student Council, winning an award at IFest for three consecutive years. Other than IFest, I have won awards in a case competition and the Graduate Student Showcase Competition.

I was also actively involved on campus as a senator for the and secretary for the , as well as diversity and inclusion head dance choreographer representing the Indian culture in festivals such as Diwali and the International Festival. I also enjoyed being involved with the Holiday Fest celebrated at the University.

Director of operations for the UniversityÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ™s Data Scientist Alliance and an orientation leader for three consecutive semesters, I also took the opportunity to serve as a graduate student success panelist for the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 incoming classes. I also gained important skills as a graduate student admissions assistant at the University.

After I graduated, I worked as a research associate intern at the University. After that, I accepted a position as a product management business analyst at , an aircraft distributor and supplier company.

I will always remember the journey I had at the University, and I can sum it up by concluding that the University made me who I am today.

I encourage current students to be honest, and to remember that being kind goes a long way. Help others because you never know how it comes back to you.
