The mission of the International Peer Advisor program is to support international students with their adjustment to Tufts and the US through peer-to-peer support and guidance. Through peers, students will learn about resources for navigating Tufts and will be able to build an inclusive community and connect with one another.

I am a rising senior with a keen interest in Investment Banking, Asset Management and Equity Research. Because of my interest in the finance industry, I am part of the Tufts Financial Group and the Tufts Real Estate Society. Over the summer, I have founded a financial consultancy to give equity solutions to traders in capital markets. I am also part of the Tufts Varsity Tennis team and I am very excited to be a part of the peer advising team as it will help me become a greater part of the Tufts student community.
