ABOUT ME
I’ve never wanted to tie myself down to any one path or career, and this is showcased by the journey I undertook till date. I have done and continue to do many different things that interest me, but each project I take on I approach with the greatest enthusiasm and focus. With an education in both Quantitative and Qualitative fields, and experiences spanning across multiple industries, I believe there is much more to come in this journey!
