About

I’m a B. Tech in Computer Science and Engineering graduate, currently pursuing a Master’s in Marketing Analytics, with a passion for leveraging data to drive impactful marketing decisions. My background in technology equips me with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, while my experience as an international chess player sharpens my ability to think strategically under pressure. I am an International Chess Player and traveled 25+ countries around the world, which helps me adapt to any culture quickly. Chess has taught me valuable lessons in discipline, critical thinking, and decision-making, which I apply in both my academic and professional journey. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of data science, consumer behavior, and digital marketing, and I’m eager to contribute innovative solutions in these fields. As a proud member of the prestigious Webster University Chess Team (SPICE), I’ve honed my ability to collaborate effectively within diverse, high-performing teams. These experiences have enriched my leadership and teamwork skills—essential traits that seamlessly translate into my academic and professional pursuits in marketing. Feel free to connect if you’d like to discuss marketing analytics, data-driven strategies, or chess!
