About Me

About Me

Outside of work, I channel my creativity and energy into a variety of hobbies. Whether I'm creating vibrant paintings, producing captivating digital art, mastering intricate classical dance routines, performing traditional tribal dance, or crafting aromatic candles, my free time is a testament to my love for the arts and hands-on projects. Leading the DIY club in college allowed me to innovate and inspire others. My roles as a school leader and NCC cadet have further refined my leadership and discipline. These experiences have shaped me, driving my ambition to leave a lasting impact.
