About Me
I am a fourth year PhD student in the School of Earth and Space Exploration. I joined GPSA because I wanted to meet people outside of my department and serve a large community at ASU.
I served as the Director of Events of GPSA 2019-2020.
Random fact(s): I have a bachelors in Instrumentation Engineering, Masters in Electrical Engineering and currently studying cosmology. I crochet like a grandma and I have learnt Indian classical dance for 15 years now.

As the Vice President of Professional Development, I aim to achieve the following goals:
Uphold the integrity of the Awards Program by overseeing the review process and ensuring that they are fairly conferred to deserving applicants;
Significantly increase the number of graduate students getting involved with GPSA by collaborating with the Public Relations team and other executive offices in GPSA;
Increase professional networking and support among the graduates at every event we organise;
Implement a new program called the “Grad Slam” across the university to give the Graduate community to present their research and work to a larger community.
