About

From my earliest days, I harbored a fervent ambition to make a meaningful impact on the world, driven by the desire to instigate purposeful change in society. I am passionate about creating solutions by dissecting real stories to highlight the richness of human experiences that contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world technology is a force for positive change. My academic and professional journey has taught me the art of asking the right questions and listening attentively to discern the market's pain points. I love crafting poems, which serves as my method to deconstruct human experiences and contemplate their intense implications. This practice not only aids me in devising solutions that extend beyond the realms of pixels and code but also ensures they are born out of empathy. 

Why MSSM?

Having navigated diverse fields from technology to advertising to marketing, I've gleaned that extracting insights from information is the linchpin for success. While research yields information, being people-smart is the key to translating it into actionable insights. In this context, MSSM emerges as the perfect crucible. It doesn't just focus on technological prowess but intricately intertwines technology with people’s insights. The curriculum offers a unique opportunity to develop products that the market not only desires but genuinely needs. The emphasis on understanding the market's pulse aligns seamlessly with my belief that true innovation stems from a deep comprehension of human needs and challenges.
