She is a big proponent of self- investing and continuous learning. Indeed, one of her passions is learning languages

She is a side hustler. She has her own blog and Youtube Channel, and she has also written her first book, Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth From Interracial Struggle, where she talks about her own struggle in finding her identity. She considers herself to be Italian- Bengali. 

Ambitious and Go-Getter are two words that describe her the most. Indeed, one of her big ambitious goals is to deliver a TED Talk
