About Me
Hey everyone, my name is Anika! I’m a Bay Area-raised third-year student studying BUAI and pursuing a minor in Law and Technology. I’m passionate about the intersection of technology, business, and law, especially as it relates to impactful innovation. My core interests lie in data and business analytics, AI product management, and tech consulting/law. On campus, I’m heavily involved in Shift SC--USC’s premier student-led platform for socially responsible tech (not-so-subtle plug to join!). Outside of academics, you can find me working on crossword puzzles, cooking, running movie marathons, or getting a little too competitive at game nights!
What are some of your key professional/career interests?
I’m especially interested in leading product or ops at a SaaS company, with a focus on building technical internal tools that help teams work smarter (like dashboards, automation systems, or internal analytics). I’m also exploring AI product management, business analytics, tech consulting, and IP law--anything that lets me solve problems at the intersection of people, tech, and policy.
