About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Graduate and pay off my student loans

ABOUT ME

I was born in Mumbai, India. Left with my parents at the age of four when we migrated to Montreal, Canada. Spent nineteen years in Montreal. Everything from grade school to college and picked up French along the way.
Graduated with a computer science degree from college and continued my bachelor's in computer science as well.
Discovered the wonderful world of AIESEC at university. Biggest life changing experience ever!
After two years in computer science, I realised I was wasting my talent and that my passions lied elsewhere.
Took, the plunge and moved to Australia & am now currently enrolled (and in my second year) studying Marine Conservation with a minor in Policy.

Can not wait to see what else I decide to do!

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Passionately.

Reading, politics, world affairs, aquatic life, independent movies, technology.

More importantly, I love a good conversation over some warm beverage.
I also adore cooking for other people. I consider myself to be pretty good, but you can be the judge of that!
