Proudest Moment: Doing my highest trek/hike of 17.7k feet in a total of 11 days within 3 weeks of recovery from severe Covid. Also, getting into Simon Business School to pursue my MBA as a full-ride student. 

Motto for life: I believe in Perseverance and Growth. I want to try new things, learn new skills, meet more people, and grow across multiple aspects of my life, but I also know there will be challenges and downfalls. So I believe in not never falling down but getting back up every-time I fall and trying again. 

Fun Fact / Favorite Hobby: I love hiking and I have climbed one of the highest passes in the world which stands at 17.7k feet height and also to the 2nd highest lake in the world which stands at above 17k feet.
