To challenge myself is the competitive marketing world and gain hands on experience in the field. My strong interpersonal and leaderships skills make me an excellent candidate for entry level positions in event planning or creative directing.
Born as a second generation immigrant to south asian parents and being an only child made my life's expectations to be higher than life itself. I realized early on that I would have to work hard to prove myself to be worthy of my parents hopes and dreams, but that weight felt crushing.
I thought I had to be the best at every given moment or I would never be enough. As I got older I realized just how absurd that mindset was. I have learned that allowing yourself to struggle and learn from those experiences is so important. I have grown tremendously by being mindful of this and intend to continue living my life with this philosophy, both in my career and personal life.
