    Energy is the lifeblood of manufacturing. It is a top five operating expense for most organizations. At Honeywell, I learned interacting with various business leaders as part of my job that most of them recognize that they pay up to 8% of their total revenue on energy, and that it is a major part of their operating expense, yet most of them pay lip service to managing these cost. Most leaders focused on quarter to quarter while lacking long-term view of profitable growth and transition to a more sustainable energy future, one that meets economic needs while minimizing the impact on the environment. UNC has been a premier institution where it shapes leaders who have the courage to do what’s right and knowledge to make it happen.

    The reason for being in CCU first of all is because I dropped out of college while studying for Medical Technology and that caused such a shift in the very foundation of my core in life that everything was hard and had to look at and deal life in very different ways. In truth a total wake up call, grow up and face the smallest mistake with the biggest consequence.

    My figure skating coach used to tell me that he knew every time I was thinking hard about a problem on a skating technique because I would furrow my eyebrows, purse my already non-existent lips together, and stick my tongue out of the corner of my mouth, making a funny face that I was unaware of. Nowadays, the only thing that has changed is the complexity of the problems. The process of thinking analytically to solve problems became second nature to me. As a result, I am an individual with ferocious work ethic, tireless dedication, and someone who thinks critically, systematically, and thus, consequently more solution-based.

Physical therapy involves treating injuries, relieving pain, and restoring body function by using physical rehabilitation. It was a little nerve wrecking explaining to my family my decision to switch from pre-med to pre-physical therapy, but I had their support. I had to explain the career to them because it wasn’t very common in the South Asian community, but it was a profession that was growing rapidly and still is.
