My experiences in Kenya, India, and Singapore have enabled me to develop into an enlightened world citizen, and I intend to bring a diverse set of life experiences and skills to any community I am a part of. As a Management Consultant, I helped companies enhance their value proposition to customers – through go-to-market strategy and customer experience transformations. The majority of my clients were tech companies, and my work with them exposed me to tech’s impact potential. So I came to UCLA Anderson to dive deeper into the tech industry and apply my customer-centric mindset in product management or internal strategy role at a tech company

Additionally, I’m passionate about giving back to the community. While at KPMG, I spearheaded efforts to organize volunteering events for employees. The events ranged from coastal cleanup to fundraising to care programs for the needy. I also volunteered with a social start-up, Bizlink, to help differently-abled individuals find employment opportunities.

Personally, I love traveling and pursuing adventure activities – I have skydived (US), hiked volcanoes (Indonesia), and glaciers (Iceland), weathered the 2004 Tsunami while scuba-diving (Kenya), and hot-air ballooned (Sri Lanka). The activities have helped me grow. Besides providing me the courage to face the unknown, they have increased my confidence through a sense of achievement and have motivated me to push myself harder. I also enjoy sharing my travel experiences through photos and reviews via the Google Local Guide program (I’m a Level 5!).
