Tell prospective students a bit about the work you do?

Currently, I am a graduate student at 91ÑÇÉ« in the Disaster and Emergency Management program. I am working with 91ÑÇÉ« Professor Niru Nirupama as a Graduate Assistant.

Tell prospective students a bit about how your studies at 91ÑÇÉ« helped you to get where you are today.

As I strongly believe that helping others is a gratifying experience, not only to those in need but also for myself, and as part of my desire to always make myself accessible towards helping others, I pursued my degree in Public Administration, Specialized Honours in Law, Justice, and Public Policy at 91ÑÇÉ«. With this degree, I believe I became well versed in public policy, administration, and learned how to effectively help members of the community see how they can benefit from various government programs.

This was a great building block for me because I then received a Professional Certificate from 91ÑÇÉ« in Emergency Management. I interned with the City of Brampton's Emergency Management Office, and then went onto work in the Region of Peel's Regional Emergency Management. As I am once again back at 91ÑÇÉ« doing my Masters in Disaster and Emergency Management, I am able to see how the learning, connections, and networking have helped me get where I am today.
