    Interests

    Apart from my academics and engineering projects, I enjoy staying active. I regularly play pick-up soccer and basketball and I also danced as part of Latin dance teams (Cumbia and Cha-Cha), Indian dance teams (Raas and Bollywood fusion), and a Hula dance team.

    It is also a passion of mine to give back to my community. I helped to start Studio:TESLA : a student-run organization that aims to teach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) literacy and critical thinking capacity to underserved youth. I held multiple roles (facilitator, site director, and VP of Operations) and I continue to volunteer in St. Louis middle schools.
