01 - About
Y

"I'm drawn to problems that matter - and to building things that last."

I'm a first-year at Northeastern University studying Economics with a second major in Finance and Information Systems - and a Dean's Scholarship recipient. I've spent the last few years sitting at the intersection of business, technology, and community: from researching retail media trends under a Vice Dean at Northeastern, to advising on AI strategy at KKR Gen AI Solutions, to founding a virtual education platform for underserved students in rural India.
