Currently employed as a Financial Reporting Analyst at Infoblox. Driven by genuine passion for numbers and problem-solving, I have built my career at the intersection of accounting and finance. My journey has taken me from India to Ireland to the U.S. and along the way, I have met leaders and learnt about the various finance and accounting functions including supporting audits, budgeting, financial reporting and analysis and make a genuine attempt at leaving a tangible impact wherever I go. A double Master’s graduate (MS in Accounting, University of Washington; MS in Finance, Trinity College Dublin), I thrive on continuous education and leveraging advanced expertise to navigate a fast-changing industry. I believe that every challenge is an opportunity to learn something new, and I’m always looking to connect with professionals who value curiosity and growth.
