In my final year of college, I joined Madtown Bhangra in putting together the first ever in person Bhangra competition at UW-Madison. Although super challenging, it was one of the most rewarding experiences I got out of my time at Madison. The community made my experience, and I'm glad I got to dive so deeply into one of my hobbies with people who I valued, and who valued me.

I joined WSB in my junior year, and immediately knew it was where I wanted to be. The individuals in the club fostered my passion for dance, and made me strive to improve. I got the chance to compete at Bhangra at the Alamo, and later, help foster a passion for Bhangra in peers. I made memories I'll never forget with this team, and they'll always have a place in my heart.

I picked up badminton in my last year of HS, but my passion took off at UW-Madison as badminton filled the place with soccer as my main sport. Although my relationship with the club itself was rocky at best, I had a lot of fun and grew not only in the sport but as a person.

AASU was a rather interesting social experience for me. I went from high periods of intense infatuation with the club to almost the exact opposite in a rather small timeframe. I learned that making individual connections with a few people who really vibe with you is a lot more valuable than making lots of acquaintances who don't fulfill you in the same way.

I joined Transcend in freshman year. Although we attempted to do it again sophomore year, it didn't really pan out. That being said, we had some good times pitching innovative ideas and learned about how to present to a business crowd.

Surma was where I thought I was going to foster my passion for dance, but it didn't end up panning out that way. I think poor leadership really tainted my limited experience with the team, but I made lasting bonds with others who felt similarly and we eventually found other avenues to foster our passions.

Joined the ISA FYP freshman year, and that was pretty bad lmao. I approached that experience in a manner that wasn't really giving it as much of a chance as it deserved, and I had some bad first interactions with a lot of my peers which scared me off of continuing with the club. In hindsight I shouldn't have been so afraid of just being myself, even if I didn't feel like I fit in because I would have made stronger connections that way.

Although I joined Coding for Good in freshman year, that project was a disaster. Marred by poor leadership the project to transition the Dane County Timebank website to an updated framework (drupal) put way too much work into the wrong hands for not nearly enough of a return on value. Although a primary motivation for the club was supposed to be doing work because you enjoy coding, many used it as filler for their resume so there was no real passion for any of the work. Furthermore the leadership failed to inspire people to do anything, so in the end the work of a many fell upon a few.

I was a member of the Business Professionals of America (BPA) during high school. BPA helped me develop my leadership and business skills, and provided opportunities to participate in competitions and network with other students who were interested in business and entrepreneurship.

I played soccer throughout high school, both for my school team and in local leagues. I was pretty good at it too, playing in the highest competitive division during my sophomore and junior years of high school. After that I fell out with the coaches and other priorities took over, pushing me away from the game.

I was a member of the school orchestra, where I played the viola. Being part of the orchestra helped me develop my musical skills, appreciate classical music, and work collaboratively with other musicians.

I attended the Hindu Mandir Summer Camp every year during high school. This camp was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn about my cultural and religious heritage, meet other students who shared similar backgrounds, and participate in various activities and workshops.
