Born and raised in the U.S., I spent my formative years in California before relocating to Hyderabad, India for high school. As a third culture kid, I've been shaped by the unique perspectives gained from living in two different countries, fostering my adaptability, empathy, and resilience. My journey then took me back to the U.S. to pursue a bachelor's degree at UC San Diego, where my passion for consulting — and love for beachside walks — truly took root.
After graduation, I embarked on a career in technology consulting, moving to Dallas, Texas, where I spent four years implementing software solutions for large corporations. This experience solidified my desire to pivot into strategy consulting, leading me to pursue an MBA to broaden my expertise, explore new interests, and embrace fresh challenges. My seventh move, this time to Durham, North Carolina, proved to be one of the most transformative.
At Fuqua, I took on multiple leadership roles, including Co-President of the Association of Women in Business (AWIB), Admissions Fellow, Career Fellow, teaching assistant, and consulting case parent. I also served on the boards of the Luxury Brands Club and the Global Equity Working Group.
Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I am passionate about dancing, reading, co-hosting my podcast Desi Deconstructed, and traveling the world. Post Fuqua, I plan to start my post-MBA career in strategy consulting in NYC.
