What are your academic and/or professional goals? I aim to have a better understanding of managing technology products and innovation and learn about the intricacies involved in taking them to market/commercializing them, with professional ambitions of having a career in a high-growth tech organization in product strategy roles.
Tell us about a significant moment in your academic journey at CMU so far. A moment I would pick is the Holi Celebration in March. It was great fun, but, more importantly, it was the kind of social event that sort of made me feel at "home" at CMU, a feeling of warmth and comfort that helped after the initial settling-in period.
What do you like to do in your time away from academic work? I usually prefer to spend time watching live sports. I am an avid soccer fan. I also love to explore new hiking trails around Pittsburgh.
Tell us about your last memorable meal. What was it, where did you have it, and who were you with? Tacos at Condado Tacos last weekend. It was a memorable and fulfilling meal I had with my roommates after a day-long excursion to the nearby Freedom Falls and Rockland Tunnel Trail.
What's your favorite thing about Pittsburgh? Hard to pick, as I am already in love with this city, but I'd say the bridges. Love the vibe and the views from those, as well as the architecture and spaces designed around them.
