Outside of academics, I actively pursue certifications like First Aid & CPR-C and WHMIS to strengthen my safety and preparedness in various settings. I’ve won several academic awards, including the Math and Responsibility Awards, and enjoy nurturing my communication skills in both English and Tamil. My passion for personal growth, volunteering, and fostering inclusive environments shines through in everything I take on—from coordinating athletic events to supporting children’s development in licensed care settings.
