## Caption

Aburva Govindarajan Sangeetha, a graduating senior majoring in Engineering Technology with a minor in Business Administration at San Jose State University (SJSU), embodies the spirit of perseverance and adaptability. She is originally from Suhar, a beautiful coastal city located in the Sultanate of Oman.

During her high school years, mathematics proved to be a challenging subject for her, leading her to major in Business. However, after her first year, she soon realized her technical inclination and transitioned to Engineering Technology with a concentration in Computer Network Systems Management, a decision that proved to be both challenging and rewarding.

When starting to take core engineering courses, she felt like an imposter due to her mathematics struggles, and being the only woman in most of her technical classes added to this feeling even more. Regardless, with the help of her friends, family, and professors she quickly overcame her struggles and improved her class performance.

Throughout her college career, she learned to embrace opportunities for growth and involvement within her school and community. As a Resident Advisor, she fosters a positive and inclusive living environment for her peers, while also serving as a Peer Academic Success Coach to support fellow students in their academic endeavors. These roles reflect her values from her upbringing, commitment to giving back, and making a meaningful impact on the lives of those around her.

Being one of the recipients of the SJSU Alumni Association Scholarship, funded by our very own alumni, has alleviated her financial stress. She’s gratefully acknowledged the opportunity and the contributions from past generations, which have inspired her to work harder and one day make a donation herself to the scholarship.

Her dream job is to become a Technical Product Manager at a top tech company, contributing her knowledge to bridge the gap between technology and users' needs, ultimately aiming to improve people's life quality and productivity using technologies in a fun and creative way.

Reflecting on her college experience, Aburva shares the advice she would give her freshman self: to explore widely, prioritize self-care, and seek help when needed. As higher academic knowledge is learned in college, we should also learn how to take care of ourselves to avoid burnout. Don’t be afraid to try new things and fail because college is a time to explore and learn, so don’t limit yourself just because it is called “Engineering School”.
