Prior coming to Ross, I pursued MS in Manufacturing Engineering from Wayne State University, and I worked for Stellantis (formerly known as FCA) for past 7 years. During my time at Stellantis, I have got the opportunity to launch some of the exciting vehicles, like Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, Ram TRX, and Jeep Gladiator. It was a very rewarding experience when you see the vehicles coming out of assembly line that you worked on. I'm curious by nature and started to question, why we as car makers focus on certain types of vehicles, how do we come up with product portfolio and who makes these decisions, there was one common answer to these all questions- Business Strategy. That led me to pursue an MBA at Ross, and I'm interested in Strategy Consulting post MBA with a focus on future mobility and sustainable solutions. 

Outside of school, I'm a sportsperson at heart and love playing tennis and going on bike rides. I also enjoy hiking and summited Mt. Whitney (highest summit of lower 48), Rim to Rim hike in Grand Canyon's and Half Dome. I'm looking forward to the winter and hitting the slopes to work on my snowboarding skills.

Since I was living in Michigan, I have got the chance to talk to student ambassadors during the application process and learnt about the opportunities at Michigan Ross to pivot into consulting. I got to learn about Michigan Ross structured curriculum that focuses on Consulting and action based learning through MAP project and summer internship. 

It has been an exciting fall semester here at Michigan Ross and look forward as a student ambassador to share my experience at Ross, opportunities to network with like-minded people and any questions related to application process.
