I am ethnically Chinese, but was born and brought up in Mumbai, India. After spending 15 years in India I moved to Canada for high school and university. My travels taught me about the power of diversity and how important it is to have diverse views on a single problem. This led me to do my Master's in International Business and CEMS Master's in International Management as I wanted to meet more future Global leaders. I am currently on my last term on exchange in London School of Economics and Political Science and spent my last semester on exchange at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

My educational background focuses on entrepreneurship and high growth companies. Many of these companies fail due to a lack of focus. My goal is to join a firm that understand the power of diversity in skills and culture and has a work environment that is focused on solving problems. I am very excited to be finishing my Master's and moving onto the next stage of my career.
