✨New chapter unlocked: Cornell University, New York! Aloha to the Ivy League✨ I’m finally on campus at Cornell University, beginning my Master of Engineering in Engineering Management. Walking past the McGraw Tower today felt surreal—this isn’t just a new chapter, it’s the book I once only dreamed of writing. To say this is an Ivy League moment is an understatement. It’s proof that hard work, resilience, and refusing to settle do pay off. A heartfelt thank you to Diana Peppin for making this transition so smooth—you were a bridge at a time I needed one most. Looking forward to being mentored by Dirk Swart and making some big leaps into the technical entrepreneurship domain. Huge shoutout to my guidance counselors at goGENIUS — Umang Talreja and Hvovi Minocherhomji — for their invaluable mentorship and support throughout this journey. Here’s to new beginnings, to big changes, to Cornell, and choices! “Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see further.” – Thomas Carlyle
