Adapting to Life in the US: Insights from Washington and Beyond

​Saturday, 27th September | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM EDT | 9:00 PM – 10:30 PM PKT

​At DreamBridge.ai, we help international students navigate the U.S. journey, from admissions and visas to career success. As part of our mission, we’re bringing you stories from those who’ve done it.

​Moving to the U.S. as an international student comes with exciting opportunities and new challenges — from opening a bank account and getting a SIM card, to finding housing, sorting out health insurance, and building your first network. Adjusting to this new life isn’t just about logistics; it’s about learning how to thrive in a new culture while preparing for your academic and professional journey.

​Join Sanjina Kumari, Program Management Intern at One Good Act, AI/ML Research Assistant at Pacific Lutheran University, and AWS ReachBack Cohort, as she shares her experience of navigating the U.S. as a student from Pakistan. She’ll walk you through the essential first steps of settling in and also how to use networking as a powerful tool to adapt, connect, and unlock opportunities in tech and beyond.

​This interactive session will focus on practical strategies for international students to get started smoothly in the U.S. and build the foundations for long-term success.

​The webinar will be followed by a Q&A round where participants will have the chance to ask Sanjina personalized questions.
