Candidate:

Ms. Transportation Engineer Turned Head Of Logistics

About Me:

I am a U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright Alumnus (2017-19). I did my master’s in Civil Engineering (Transportation) from the U.S. and worked there for over a year in a top engineering firm. I have been working at a logistics tech startup for the last year after returning home. Working in a leadership role and ensuring stable business health while managing a highly functional team has been an intellectually stimulating experience for me. To me, success isn’t about owning all the shenanigans and having a secured life on a set clock. I would rather deliver meaning to someone else’s life and grow in the process.
