Travel
I LOVE traveling! This summer, my family and I visited Maui and Big Island, and I went on beautiful hikes and took 5 amazing dives (including a night dive!). In the winters, we drive up to Colorado to go skiing, and every once in a while, we go visit family in India.
Nature
These are various photos I've taken during the trip of the landscape and just things that I find super pretty. The first photo is the view at night of Volcanoes National Park in Big Island, Hawaii, and it is even more gorgeous in person!
Family
These pictures include my mom, dad, my little brother Vikram, my grandma, and various cousins and aunts that are incredibly important people to my life.
Friends
These are photos of my high school friends, who I absolutely love so much and am hoping to keep in contact with. While none of them are going to UMich, some are going to nearby schools!
Music
In high school, I played three instruments, bass drum for drumline (I was the Bass Section Lead), flute for concert band, and trombone for jazz band. I also sang in the CCCC, and traveled to London to sing in some of the most gorgeous cathedrals!
Robotics
In high school, I was a part of FRC Team #2714 BBQ Robotics. I worked on CAD, electrical, and led our pit crew as the mechanical lead. I also volunteered at various schools, summer camps, and fairs to teach younger students STEM!
Sports
As part of the cheer team, I was our high school's mascot, Hugo the Hornet, and as part of the track and field team, I threw shotput, discus, and javelin. The fifth picture shows our track team meeting Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone!
