Personal: I am a simple, confident and determined individual. I am fond of people and enjoy all forms of communication. My experiences in practicing this art in a varied milieu, targeting a mosaic of different races, cultural sensitivities and aspirations have been by and large very successful. Other than this, I like working, exploring and also learning new things in life. I am happiest if I have myriad areas to work with. Approaching deadlines and difficult tasks to do seem to bring out the best in me. Challenge me and I will excel. Give me a boring thing and I would lose heart and not do it again.
Educational: I am basically from Rajasthan, but I have been born and brought up in Ahmedabad. A Carmelite who has done her Masters in English Literature from St. Xavier's College-Ahmedabad.

I completely have faith and believe in an organic way of life and having made an attempt at working towards it. All these big and small experiences and interactions have helped me shape up into a better person and balance my life holistically.
