Not being taken seriously as a woman. When I was part of a global operations team, there was a need to work odd hours as teams sat across the globe.

I am a force of change! I have been able to move mountains as an Indian woman raising three children alone. I have persevered in my career and continue my journey in gaining knowledge. As a doctorate student at USC, I am focused on making changes in organizations that elevate women!
