Just like Guy Fieri I also have a strong affiliation to the Triple D.
Triple D: Driven, Dedicated, and Dutiful.

As I am early in my career, my life is currently on a path where I am still learning about myself, my passions, and my strengths. I give my all to my work and hope to develop lasting professional relationships as I grow my career.

My past experience builds on marketing and social media, however, being an economics major and communications minor, I believe that my background is diverse. I am a self learner and over the past years have learned lightroom and photoshop and received a front end web development certification from General Assembly.

I believe that learning is not just in the classroom- I am a strong supporter of the holistic education that Santa Clara University strives to provide for all its students. As an undergrad, I was involved on campus as Social Chair, Alumni Chair and a pledge class educator for Alpha Kappa Psi, the premier business fraternity on campus as well as being Social Media Director for HerCampus SCU, and participating in Intandesh and it's culture show, the south asian multicultural club on campus. Balancing my activities with school has helped me strengthen my leadership skills as well as my organization and time management. In fall 2016, I furthered my marketing skills interning at Three Grey Monkeys, a consulting firm in London, UK where I was lucky enough to study abroad for six months. Post grad, I joined VMware full time as the Community Manager for the VMware {code} developer program. In the four years I was on the Social Media and Communities team full time, I had the good fortune to be given the opportunity to grow and become the Communities team lead. I continued my learning at NYU Stern, where I pursued a Tech Focused MBA with the goal of improving my technical skills. At NYU I was an active member of the community, serving as co-president of my MBA cohort, as well as sitting on class gift committee and the admissions committee of Stern Women in Business.

I look forward to further growth, professionally and personally, as I have now rejoined VMware as a Competitive Intelligence Analyst in the EUC Product Marketing org!
