Kahaani 2019

Kahaani 2019 was the second, and last, time I took part in the Indian dance show. Created by a school GC, the event aimed to raise funds and awareness for disabled girls in India, and thus merely being involved was an honor as I got to engage with an issue of global importance which also felt personal to me, being[…]

Extended Essay Viva Voce – Final Reflection

The EE process was challenging yet ultimately rewarding as an experience, because it taught me perseverance as a skill but most importantly reminded me why I loved and want to pursue the Arts in my future.

Healthy Habits for Girls

I used to hate the gym. Really despise it. I’ve always been too self-conscious and nervous to be in an environment where everyone was fitter and more experienced than me. I knew that my fitness wasn’t at its peak anymore since I stopped playing basketball, football and boxing regularly, so I knew it was time for a change. Motivated by[…]

Digital Arts

Examples of some work I have created in my Digital Arts Creativity for CAS. These are two examples of Photoshop drawn artworks.

Media Coordinator

Today we sorted out our storing methods for our media, and to control our photos and footage and keep it easily accessible I created a Google Drive folder in which I shared my PW group, organised folders by day and by media type.
