What is your role in the Student Programs team? 

I support the MATLAB Student Ambassador program here at MathWorks. My role consists of managing the day-to-day operations of our student ambassadors worldwide.

I am currently working on supporting our ambassadors and their return to campus for the fall semester. We have several new ambassadors joining us this semester!

Why do you like working in education?

I come from a family of educators in K-12, so education is “in my blood”. I have a strong passion for technology and education, so Ed Tech is the best of both worlds. I truly love working with students and watching them develop their technical and interpersonal skills throughout the program. I am always amazed by the creativity and passion our student ambassadors display every day. They always exceed my expectations and are remarkable to work with. Seeing them succeed in their professional careers after completing the ambassador program gives me joy.

What is your role in the Student Programs team? 

My role in Students competition team focuses on the MATLAB Student Ambassador program. I create packaged content for the ambassadors to leverage for organizing competitions and workshops in their college.

I am currently working on creating a ‘Minidrone Modelling and Simulation’ workshop, where the students get to learn and implement through Simulink, Control Systems, Image Processing and Path Planning.

Why do you like working in education?

The students have the most creative and imaginative ideas. Education is the ideal platform to interact with the students, learn from them and impart real world perspective to random but innovative ideas.

While I was a student participating in such competitions, the learning and hands on experience I got was priceless as compared to any academics. By working in Education, I wish to impart similar experiences to the next generation.
