I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity, Technology, and Policy at The University of Texas at Dallas, with a focus in Insurance. I’m passionate about insurance, where I hope to help organizations manage risk thoughtfully and make a positive impact. What excites me most about this field is the opportunity to work with and learn from amazing people every day. I enjoy collaborating, supporting others, and approaching challenges with optimism and curiosity. Please view my personal insurance research at https://sohaarian.github.io/research.html!

• Administrative Volunteer Assistant

  Volunteering · Irving Arts Center

  2019 – 2023

  Mission:

  As an administrative volunteer assistant at the Irving Arts Center, I assisted art instructors and helped during lunch time with games and activities. Spending over a hundred hours volunteering at this summer camp, I exposed myself to a work environment. I learned time management and communication skills. Working with other volunteers, we completed tasks, met goals, and managed various projects effectively with a team effort. Most importantly, I was exposed to how undervalued art teachers are and how much the art instructors nourish the minds of the young aspiring artists. I am truly grateful for this experience.
