Outreach
I am passionate about making a positive impact through education, mentoring, and community service, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM. My outreach efforts include: Mentorship: I have mentored undergraduate students in Clemson University’s REU program, helping them develop research skills and fostering their interest in applied mathematics and bioengineering.
Academic Bridge Program: I contributed to teaching underprivileged students as part of the Academic Bridge Program at the University of Texas at Dallas, aiming to provide quality education and support for students from diverse backgrounds.
Volunteer Work: I was actively involved in Leaders for Tomorrow, an NGO where I helped organize educational activities and mentoring programs for students at Delhi University.
Promoting Women in STEM: As a member of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), I am committed to supporting women in mathematics and related fields by participating in events and promoting gender equality in STEM.
Through these initiatives, I strive to give back to the community by supporting educational growth and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups in science and technology.
