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.

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.
