Three words that describe your experience at Northeastern:
Transformative, Empowering, Purposeful
Where is home or where do you consider home?
I’m from Delhi, India; a vibrant city that shaped my resilience, values, and passion for growth. While Toronto has offered incredible opportunities and a sense of belonging, Delhi will always be home at heart.
What is the source of your motivation?
My desire to create meaningful impact, make my family proud, and grow into a confident leader kept me going through every challenge.
What has your journey revealed to you about yourself?
My journey at Northeastern has revealed just how capable, adaptable, and driven I truly am. From founding a student organization to managing real-world projects during my co-op, I learned that I thrive when challenged—and that I’m not afraid to lead with purpose. It also showed me the power of community and how much impact one can create with the right support and vision.
Experiential Learning:
One of the biggest highlights was my co-op at CIBC, where I worked as a Product Consultant on real-time banking initiatives. I also led sustainability projects through the EcoChampions Alliance, applying classroom concepts to real-world impact—both experiences pushed me to grow professionally and personally.
Where do you envision yourself in five years?
In five years, I envision myself driving meaningful change within the tech or financial industry. I see myself leading diverse teams, launching initiatives that create real value, and continuing to grow as a purposeful, people-centered leader.
Anything else?
I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences, mentors, and community I found at Northeastern. This journey has not only shaped my career path but also helped me grow into a more confident, purpose-driven version of myself. I’m excited to carry these lessons forward and give back in meaningful ways.
