Why did you become a mentor? IPMP was my home away from home when I first traveled to Indy from Dubai during my freshman year. This is the program through which I met my closest friends and got the chance to interact with other international students. Through IPMP, I got the confidence to get involved on campus and become the best version of myself.Â
I wanted to become a mentor so that I can help out students just the way my mentors helped me so that they too can find a home away from home in IUPUI through IPMP.
Bio: I was born in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, and shifted to Dubai, UAE when I was 5 years old. Being the only child, I was the center of attention for my family for 17 years till we got our lil doggo named Mars who just eats and sleeps all day (i.e. the ideal life). I found my passion for business through my mom who started her own company a few years ago and to follow her footsteps, I am pursuing my degree in the Kelley School of Business. I have been a part of over 10 student organizations in the past 2 years which has helped me meet new people and gain leadership experiences on campus
Favorite spot on campus: The Campus Center
What is your favorite thing about IUPUI? I love the opportunities that IUPUI provides to its diverse range of students. It has something to offer for all students no matter what you are interested in and truly makes you feel at home.
Advice for first time students: Don't be afraid to try new things out! It may initially seem scary with so many changes taking place at once, take your time with it, and when you feel like you are ready, push yourself to step out of your comfort zone and take advantage of everything that IUPUI has to offer. Do things that make you happy and create a gazillion memories!
