About Ayra Kanji

Hello, my name is Ayra Kanji. I am a determined business leader passionate about driving positive societal impact by fusing responsible business practices, technology, and behavioral sciences. Currently, I am a junior at the University of Texas at Austin, studying Economics and Entrepreneurship, graduating in May 2027.During my freshman year, I studied Finance at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University - Bloomington. While at Kelley, I immersed myself in activities that supported my interest in Corporate Law, including joining The Indiana University Pre-Law Association and The Kelley Student Government. Additionally, I spent time attending law and business conferences which allowed me to network and learn from professionals in the industry I want to work in. Academic-wise, I enrolled in multiple advanced business courses where I gained insights into Economics, Microsoft Excel and Access, and Accounting; and, developed skills in Public Speaking, Presenting, and Reading Financial Statements.Now as a UT Austin student, I\'m eager to continue to explore the intersections of business, law, finance, and entrepreneurship. Moreover, I’m particularly interested in researching how AI is transforming traditional industries.I look forward to connecting with professionals and people who share similar interests, and I am excited about the opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful change in the business and legal landscapes.
