Tell us about your experience so far at Northeastern University-Seattle.
“Graduate studies gives you in depth knowledge about the subject with practical scenarios and real life situations.

Being a graduate international student, I enjoy networking, meeting new people and having conversations with them. We have students from different backgrounds & culture, getting to know them has been really interesting.”
What do you like to do when you aren’t studying or planning SEAC events?
“I am passionate about playing musical instruments to name a few are drums, piano, mouth-organ (harmonica), flute, percussion and a few more. I also have a great enthusiasm for going to the gym and outdoor activities like adventures, traveling & hiking.”

I totally believe in ‘experience is the best teacher.’ I also feel one should always have that drive to deliver the best of your abilities. What motivates me is the attitude of living each and every moment of your life to its fullest.”
