I truly believe, Sigma Xi is making a huge impact in the world through the research programs and all the help that’s been going on for the Students. Sigma Xi is a true reflection of a 100 years old society built on diversity and integrity and advancement in the science and technology. The organization does so many things right, and everyone knows of them. Research and Technology is very close to my heart and I feel, I can bring value to the society by bringing in my Industrial Research experience in various fields that I am associated with.
1. Improving Career Development of Fresh and Smart Individuals out there
I am a Industrial Researcher and back in the day, I held jobs like; Analyst, IT Manager, End Users of Technology related products and now an researcher. My goal is to help Academics in any way I can, most importantly, I write research articles on Future of Technology and their Industry Applications in collaboration with the other researchers and provide them with real life examples and situations which gives them an technological advancements due to the fact that I love doing that, I don’t get paid for any of this work but this gives me immense pleasure to see that someone somewhere has been Enlighted through the learnings I have gained in the Science and Technology field, I like to provide honest and candid feedback about the research programs students do, which make them like me more.

2. Sigma Xi and Me
Sigma Xi holds a special place in my heart and it keeps me motivated to more for the community out there, I have started to make more meaningful connections with the Sigma Xi Fraternity and members, this feels like being home and something which I always wanted to do. I am looking forward to connecting with a Chapter in NorthEast and want to get more involved through the course of my membership. My focus would be on attracting young members and seasoned members to understand the meaning of staying connected with the Organization and how we can together change the dynamics and perception of the world on what we know is not always right, but look through the eyes of an organization like Sigma Xi who is committed towards its passion and integrity in Science and technology field and all the relevant Inventions and Discoveries which comes all along the way. I look forward to supporting Chapters to actively raise programs of interest enough for the membership to invest their time and effort and continuing on attracting the members and retention of women and minorities to our profession.
My career has spanned academia and the private sector for over two decades, encompassing Industrial research and education as well as executive roles with Top Tiered consulting firms, very well suits me for the leadership positions at Sigma Xi.
