About (request update)

I am a motivated student with strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills developed through active involvement in academics and campus life. In high school, I held leadership positions such as Debate President, Press Club Secretary, Class Head, and Laboratory Prefect, where I gained experience in team management, event planning, and public speaking. On campus, I continue to build on this foundation through involvement in organizations such as the Favrot Student Union, where I was recognized as Miss Cover Girl 2nd Runner Up, and by contributing to the student newspaper. I am passionate about advocacy, gender equality, and public health, with long-term goals of advancing pediatric healthcare research and promoting equity through policy and community engagement.

Current Whereabouts:

Undergraduate student, interested in research, entrepreneurship, and leadership roles.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to pursue a career in healthcare and clinical research, with a particular focus on pediatric public health. Long-term, I aim to combine my scientific interests with policy work to influence equitable access to healthcare for underserved communities. Beyond my career, I am committed to leadership, service, and advocacy, drawing from my involvement in campus organizations and my passion for women’s empowerment. I hope to grow as a changemaker who uplifts others and creates meaningful impact both locally and globally.
