About

As an engineer hitting the fifth-year milestone of her career, I decided it was time to take a break by joining the MBA program at Tuck. Having worked for two companies building enterprise solutions, I realized that, to deliver the most value to clients, one needs to not only acquire the relevant technical knowledge but also understand how clients reach their own business goals and how our product could fit into the picture. I hope to gain knowledge in diverse domains during my MBA experience and become a better problem solver in tech and business.
