Hi, I’m Aadya
Welcome to my world
Motivated by my personal experiences with microaggressions and the desire for genuine inclusion, I co-founded the Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Justice (DEIJ) focus group at my school. This initiative aimed to create a safe space where students from diverse backgrounds could come together to share their experiences and challenge unconscious biases.
My internships have provided me with valuable experience and insights across various sectors. Each opportunity has allowed me to develop essential skills, gain practical knowledge, and understand different aspects of finance and marketing. Whether working on investment pitches, creating marketing content, or learning about the auditing process, these experiences have significantly contributed to my growth and prepared me for future endeavours.
I attended a two-week summer camp on entrepreneurship that offered hands-on experience in creating a business and pitching a unique idea.
Badminton has been my journey of self-discovery, teaching me resilience, teamwork, and the value of enjoying the game.
