Hello!
My name is Shiza Tipu Sheikh. I am currently a Junior at LUMS, pursuing a BSc (Hons.) in Management Sciences from SDSB and I completed my schooling from Lahore Grammar School 55 Main. Although I am day scholar, you will find me more often than not on campus, either walking around in the extended Khokha or hidden away somewhere in the library with notes and registers spread all around me. In my Freshman year, I joined 2 societies, LUMS Entrepreneurial Society and LUMS Community Service Society. However, I left both of these societies and instead joined LUMS Consultancy Group in my Sophomore year, in which I currently hold the post of HR Director. Not surprisingly, consultancy is a career path I am interested in pursuing. However, more than consultancy, I’m extremely interested in Data Science and hope to pursue it as a profession. When it comes to my academic life at LUMS, I have worked consistently to maintain a decent CGPA. I have also taken courses from SSE, HSS and SoE, so my academic experience is not just limited to SDSB. I hope that through this position of Peer Advisor, I can help improve your experiences at LUMS, not just academically, but also in relation to societies and general problems. Your experience at LUMS will be very different from your school-life, since LUMS offers a lot more liberty, exposure and competition. Just remember to manage your time well, take advice from people older than you, and have fun with friends in order to make the best of your years here!
