My Story
My journey didn’t start here.
I grew up in a small town in India, always curious about the world beyond what I knew.
From an early age, I was a foodie, drawn to helping others grow, and excited by new experiences and cultures. That curiosity still guides me today and led me to build a career in the food industry.
In 2014, I arrived in the U.S. as an international student with $1,500 in traveler’s checks and two suitcases.
I had no roadmap, no network, and no blueprint.
I did not yet know how difficult the journey would be or how much I would grow through it.
As an international talent and a woman in the food industry, I faced systemic barriers while building my career.
I kept moving forward with an unstoppable mindset, even when I felt exhausted.
Over the past decade, I built my career in the food industry from the ground up.
Starting as a food scientist, I grew into a business executive and career coach, driven by purpose and impact.
Today, I use what I’ve learned to help others navigate similar paths with clarity, confidence, and an actionable roadmap.
If you are starting where I was in 2014, or somewhere along that journey, I would love to help you. I know what it feels like to start over in a new country, new role, or new company.
My mission is to provide the guidance I wish I had at every step of my own career journey so you can build the career you deserve with clarity and confidence.
Every big career leap starts with a small step.
Start yours with Spark Academy.
