I am originally from India, I pursued my undergraduate studies in Electronics and Communication at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bengaluru, India. With a naturally outgoing disposition, I have a passion for classical dance, enjoy singing, and thrive on engaging in lively conversations. Throughout my academic journey, I actively participated in various clubs and extracurricular activities, including taking on the role of Data Science Representative for the Council of Graduate Students.

Looking ahead, I aim to transition into the role of a Data Analyst at Wunderlich Malec Engineering in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, post-graduation.
