Activities

Girls Scouts

Girls Scouts has been a large part of my life. I started being part of girl scouts when I was in kindergarten and I am still a girl scout. I have participate in various activities such as the cookie sales, camping, as well as earning various badged in fields. I have also taken an active role in achieving the service awards. I have already archived the prestigious bronze award and silver award. The bronze award is for 20+ hours of service and the silver award is for 50+ hours of service. I am right now working on achieving my Gold award which is 100+ hours of service. I was also part of the Media Girlz committee of the Heart of New Jersey Girl Scouts. In this I participated in any events that regarded the social media side. I took part in photo shoots as well as interviews regarding Girl Scouts as well as new programming on their part. As part of Girl Scouts I have tried to take an active role in immersing myself in every aspect the organization has to offer to learn and gain as much as I can.

Etrê Girls

I joined the Etrê community during the start of covid, 2020. I became a part of their board quickly. Etrê is an organization that promotes women empowerment by promoting mentorship and exploration of various fields. After becoming part of the board I wanted to do more. I realized that the organization had various area and aspects covered on their website, but I noticed how the impact of stereotypes was not mentioned. I saw this problem and sought to fix it. I interviewed various high school females as well as women in various fields. I then created a section on the organizations website addressing stereotypes and their impact. I also added an area where girls who read the page can interact and share their own story which can be added to the page. Not only did I immersive myself into the organization in these ways I also partnered with the organization to create a TEDx talk. I was able to create a ted talk about the importance of linguistics as well as the problems with definitions of words. I was able to record as well as write my own script. Overall, by working with this organization I have learned so much about myself and my personal identity, but also about the importance of mentorship as well as speaking up if you want to change something.

Athena Racing

Athena Racing is a organization that is for like-minded girls learning STEM subjects and exploring STEM career paths. I joined Athena Racing in 2021 and was one of three scholars in the DRIVE Training series. In this program I was able to learn about using a simulator to race. I also was able to learn about various aspects of cars and how they work. I was also given the opportunity to learn and speak with various influential leaders in the car racing industry. I also applied for and was accepted into the Spring Intensive for Livery Design taught by Dave Marek. I was able to learn about the livery design process from specialists at Honda, HPD, Chip Ganassi Racing and Carvana, under the guidance of famous livery designer Dave Marek. Our final pitch presentation was given to 13 members of the racing and automotive industry along with the Athena Racing Board of Directors. I was able to gain feedback about design as well as learn the process of creating a design that incorporates the race team sponsors. I was selected for the 2022-23 school year to be a Spokeswoman for Athena Racing and have completed a 30-day intensive workshop in order to represent the brand at the INDYCAR Portland Grand Prix. We will be interviewed about the ideals as well as aspects of the organization, and we will be taking about our own experience as females in the car racing industry. Overall, this organization has opened many doors for me, and allowed to strength my skills in public speaking, leadership, as well as teamwork.

Rolls and Curries

Since the start of the summer of 2022 I have taken part in working at a local Indian/Pakistani Restaurant called Rolls and Curries. Here I have not only learned the process of taking orders as well as serving costumers, I have also learned marketing techniques that the owner has been using to promote her restaurant being both half Indian and half Pakistani. I took an active role this summer in taking over the restaurants instagram as well as tik tok page. I would come in and work on making videos and taking angles of the best food and the busiest times of the day. I would display the restaurant in a way that would bring even more people in. Over the summer I was able to gain the knowledge of what it takes to run as well as sustain a restaurant. These tips and tricks that I learned not only helped me excel and help the restaurant Rolls and Curries, but it was also great as it helped me come up with ideas for the organizations that I am part of as well as the clubs and hobbies that I have

Over a two week intense daily course I learned the basics of coding in the language swift, by the end of the program I was able to build an app for social justice and change in a group of three. I learned the logistics of coding an app. I learned that the design planning had to be done before creating the app, I learned about the intricate aspects of code and how to do everything there were many ways. This intense course was able to be the gateway to lead me into basics of coding. It was a great way to start my coding career. After this course I have been trying to code my own things and develop my own ideas.

Photography Internship

Over the summer of 2022 in the month of July I went to a city called, Bangalore, in South India. There I taught 3 classes of government school children photography. I worked under the organization HCL. I was put under an employee of their's named Sakshi. She guided me through the process and gave me a rough itinerary. I was tasked with creating slides as well as teaching the children with the small amount of resources that I was given. During this set of 2 weeks I was able to get the kids interested in photography and help them explore a new concept and idea in the world. I was able to gain many skills such as patience, adaptability, and cooperation. Those skills are just the bare minimum of what I was able to learn and explore from the experience. I was also given the opportunity to take my own photographs. I went to the slum area in India two times. I went around and took snapshots of the area as well as the people, trying to capture as much as I could. I also worked under a newspaper photographer in North India towards the end of my trip, who was capturing a famous Indian holiday known as Kaver. It was interesting to see how fast paced the a newspaper photographer needs to be. Overall, from this experience I was able to gain so much from skills to even just learning about my own culture as various fields in photography, it was a great way to immerse myself in a passion of mine.

Soccer

I started to play soccer when I was in 4th grade. Ever since 4th grade I fell in love with the sport. I still play soccer. I have been playing club as well as school soccer for as long as I can remember. Soccer has always been the place where I could release my energy, express myself in another way, as well as come together with my team and achieve a goal. I have always put in 100% of my effort. When I noticed an area that I struggled in I made sure to work on it, while it was either running everyday to increase my stamina, to even going to the field and practicing to improve my shots and dribbling skills. The journey that I have been on for so long with soccer has taught me skills such as teamwork, dedication, patience, as well as adaptability.

Flag Raising

In 2019 with the help of my sister, together we created an event called the Indian Flag Raising in our town. We both communicated with the mayor as well as my towns council to create this event for the town's Indian Community to come together, but also for the town to come together to celebrate the Indian Community. In this event on India's independence day which is August 15th, we raise the Indian flag in-front of our town hall. We then as a community come together to listen to some speeches, songs, dances, and then we eat some Indian food together. This event is a great way to celebrate India as a country as well as the community.
