I completed a Bachelor’s in Architecture back in India at Chitkara University and did a semester exchange program in the 8th semester of my Bachelor's in Seoul, Korea.

Apart from architecture, I like cooking and dancing. I sometimes attend dancing classes at UB as well. I balance my academic life by engaging in various activities on campus like cultural events, badminton, dancing, and sometimes Zumba.”
