Bio
I was born in Mumbai, India. I came to America to study for my Master's and began to work here in technology consulting. I am the oldest of three siblings and come from very humble beginnings. Looking back, it almost seems like a dream that I came to America. It was the toughest decision that I made in my life and I am very thankful to the Almighty for giving me the grit and the strength to keep persevering over the years. It has been an uphill climb and I am very fortunate to have been through this journey to become the strong woman that I am today.My exposure to subjects like computer networking and programming got me interested in technology during my Master's program and I decided to make it my career. I have been fortunate to have worked with companies like Wells Fargo, AT&T, Deloitte , Capgemini, Barnes& Noble, T-Mobile and Starbucks and working with my peers, leaders & mentors has shaped my technical journey. Speaking will me give the unique opportunity to learn from amazing women and I would not miss it for the world!
