Dance Graduation

> I am a trained Bharatnatyam dancer and one of the most significant milestones in a Bharatnatyam dancer's journey is the graduation ceremony (Arangetram). I have learnt Bharatnatyam for over 11 years (started at the age of 5) and successfully completed my Arangetram at the age of 16, in Aug 2019.

Giving back to the society

  • Supporting the American School for Deaf has been a part of me since I started learning SL in my high school, and has since been an integral part of my life. While preparing for my dance graduation(Arangetram) I sold my sketches and paintings to collect $1200 which I donated to ASD on the day of Arangetram.
  • Data for Distance Learning - I did a fundraiser to provide mobile devices and data for a year to a 100 students, in order to enable remote learning during this Covid-19 pandemic for high school students in the town of Poigai in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. The fundraiser was successfully completed, I am grateful to everyone who supported me and am thrilled to see the smiles of the students who benefited.
