Social service has always been at the heart of who I am. From my earliest years in college, I stepped into roles that allowed me to serve, uplift, and stand with communities in need. As a leader in the National Service Scheme (NSS) and an active volunteer in various outreach initiatives, I spent years organizing camps, leading palliative care programs, coordinating charity drives, teaching students in government schools, and mobilizing youth for meaningful causes. Service was never just an activity for me,it was a calling. Whether coordinating emergency support during crises, guiding young volunteers, or creating awareness programs, I approached every responsibility with empathy, humility, and a genuine desire to help. These experiences shaped my belief that true leadership is rooted in service and that small acts of kindness can create powerful ripples of change. Even today, in my role in education, I carry this spirit forward, building systems, communities, and spaces that reflect my deep commitment to serving people and making a difference wherever I can.

One thing I am passionate about is my love for the outdoors. Just taking a simple walk or going on the hike brings a certain emotion of rawness and authenticity of being in the moment, like reconnecting or discovering something new about myself. Engaging in a new experience brings a new perspective, whether it is meeting new people or travelling to a new place, the sense of adventure and being in the moment is always fulfilling. Especially when it tests my physical fitness, that is what I favour the most, which translates into my love for sports and especially swimming. Swimming is something that I am truly passionate about, whether as a daily routine or competitively, it has shaped me into the person I am today.
