A Junior at the University of South Florida completing a Bachelor of Science in Marketing with a Minor in Hospitality Management and a Minor in Business Analytics, her passion for hospitality started early, waitressing in India as a teenager and realizing that what she loved most was making guests feel genuinely cared for an instinct shaped by her grandmother’s belief that food brings people together. Since then, she has built a remarkably well-rounded foundation: she currently shadows the events team at the Tampa Marriott Water Street, works in guest-facing hospitality at Levy Restaurants, and serves as Vice President of Events for Dance Marathon USF, where she leads a team of three directors and organizes fundraising events benefiting Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. Beyond campus, she co-founded HonourCourt, a sports event management company in India, where she secured corporate sponsorships from Decathlon and Buffalo Wild Wings, managed full tournament logistics, and built a team from scratch. Her long-term goal is to lead guest experience and event strategy at a major hospitality company.
