Adya Roy is an incoming microinfluencer on Instagram who always felt underrepresented in society as a South Asian Bonafide-Nerd! She has been growing her platform for over two years, and enjoys being an older sister/ mentor figure and coach to many South Asian (and other) women in STEM who want to see life through a focused career-viewpoint! Her journey through college was far from typical or easy but getting two job offers and switching jobs mid-pandemic as an international student was the wake-up moment she needed to realize that she wanted to help others with the mentorship she missed growing up!
