I am a fourth year Honours Bachelor of Commerce student with a concentration in Management Science.  I am currently enrolled in an independent study course that looks at the role of information systems in clinical decision making. 

The highlight of my University of Windsor education so far has been the exposure to research that I have had with professors at the Odette School of Business.  I am confident that this experience will hold me in good stead as I pursue my master’s degree in another year’s time.

I enjoy quantitative analysis, partially because I believe numbers more often than not don’t lie, and I like modeling complex mathematical problems, especially financial modeling.  I also have strong computer skills and familiarity with multiple research databases including Factiva, LexisNexis, EDGAR Online, Bloomberg, and CompuStat.  I have an interest in financial markets and especially in investor psychology.

I worked for 7 years for a US business process outsourcing company’s operations in Bangalore, India, as a quality coordinator and team leader—a job that I thoroughly enjoyed, especially because it gave me the opportunity to contribute to the success of many of my colleagues, while at the same time allowed me to plan, organize, and control a team’s performance.  I left this multicultural work experience to join University of Windsor two years ago.  The journey has been truly worth it.  No regrets—only lessons learned, and shared!

I am partner in a small business venture that I started in Windsor recently that provides clinical documentation services to physicians, and the company signed our first few customers in July-August 2009.  I hope to build this business and help create jobs in Windsor in the years to come.
