Coming from a joint family from a tiny village in India, I am among the 18th of the 28 cousins.  At a very early age my love for art was apparent when the closest two best buddies I had were a pencil and paper & till date my biggest motivation is my mother who is doctor by profession wore different hats all throughout her life & was remarkable at it.

     Till recently (in sub-continent region) your ‘destination’ is decided before you are conceived, either you must become a doctor or an engineer. All my cousins were asked to pursue medical but I chose to take engineering route even though both my parents are doctors. I love being a geek when it comes to science & technology & craftsmanship. I completed my masters in telecommunications system design engineering from Chicago and after 3 years of working in the US, I planned to join MY partner in Australia. Soon I got recruited in NBN rollout & rapidly achieved high accolades in designing complex wireless networks for large enterprises and was one of the top 5 finalists for Australian national awards in the category of ‘Women in engineering Achievement in technological innovation’ in 2020.
