Work hard till it seems like you work smart.
This quote has always been my guiding principle, inspiring me to embrace challenges and pursue my passions relentlessly.
Less than a year ago, I moved to a new country to follow my dreams at Cornell University. Today, I am thrilled to announce that I have officially graduated with a Master of Engineering in Engineering Management! 🎉
This journey has been transformative, marked by rigorous coursework and the challenge of managing multiple responsibilities, including serving as Teaching Assistant for Business School courses. Through it all, I learned invaluable lessons in time management and perseverance, which have shaped me both personally and professionally.
During my time at Cornell, I had the privilege of working on impactful projects that combined my technical expertise with real-world applications, with project partners including:
- United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)
- Town of Ithaca, Public Works Department
Beyond academics, my experiences in product hackathons and business analytics have further fueled my passion for creating meaningful impact.
I am deeply grateful to:
- My professors and mentors for their unwavering support and guidance
- My peers from diverse academic backgrounds for enriching my learning experience
- Special thanks to my family and everyone who believed in me and supported me through this journey
As I transition into the next chapter of my career, I am eager to apply my skills in project manager and data analyst roles, where I can leverage my technical expertise to generate substantial business impact. I am open to new opportunities and excited about the future.
Thank you, Cornell University, for an incredible journey and for transforming me from a Cornell student into a proud Cornell alumni.
