In first year, I wish I knew the importance of networking. Many opportunities are open to first-year students and I believe by networking you not only meet new people with interesting personalities but also learn about wonderful opportunities open to you.

Involvement outside the classroom:

  • Deloitte Brand Ambassador
  • Vice President of Marketing for UW Students Offering Support
  • Marketing Director for UW Because I Am A Girl

I enjoy...

  • Travelling
  • Meeting new people
  • Eating cool food
  • Finding new opportunities

Favourite place to study: The Davis Centre or my room

Favourite place to eat in Waterloo: The Works

Memorable co-op experience: All my co-op terms have simply been an amazing learning experience and it is really hard to choose a favourite.  Most recently I worked as a Business Technology Analyst at Deloitte. I got the opportunity to work on an insurance related project and I really enjoyed every day at the client site. The best part was that I was surrounded by individuals who made everyday a learning opportunity.

Plans for life after CFM: I aspire to find a job and then travel the world.

Fun fact: Currently one of the entertainment/news reporter and anchor for the largest 24-hour Canadian South Asian broadcaster, Asian Television Network (ATN).
