Volunteering
Growing up, my life revolved around dance, music, and studies. In 2016, at 18, I decided to try something new by volunteering in my community. Through the events and activities I organized, I gained invaluable experiences, and I now strive to live a life dedicated to contributing and giving back to society in any way I can.
My first event was MayDay MovieFest, an outdoor movie screening of Smurfs 2 to encourage family bonding, ending with a mass dance to Taylor Swift's Shake It Off!
Racial Harmony Night was my first large-scale carnival event, featuring food and game booths, on-stage performances, and concluding with a mass activity to celebrate and share Singapore's racial and cultural diversity.
Collaborated with the Red Cross to organize regular Blood Donation Drives, conducting outreach to encourage community residents to participate and donate
TJ Textbooks & Storybooks Recycling aimed to encourage residents to donate unused books, allowing others to purchase and reuse them, promoting a circular economy
Committed to supporting families with access to books and financial relief, I led the team in organizing the books drive amidst COVID-19 restrictions
Just Kayak Lah! An experience I completely loved where I supported as a volunteer and had fun interacting and connecting one-on-one with a child instead of managing the entire event.
Kids Day Out! Instead of directly organizing and leading the team, I mentored younger volunteers on the committee reports, operations, and logistics needed to run this excursion to the Science Musuem
Collaborated with NTU students to organize workshops on 3D printing and Arduino to inspire interest in STEM among 10- to 14-year-olds.
Amidst COVID, we organized various online activities to stay engaged and connected.
Count Me In was a 12-week initiative aimed at easing the transition into primary school by cultivating an interest in Math among financially disadvantaged 5-year-olds. This project was one of my favorites due to the regular interactions with the children a
TJ National Day Celebrations was the largest event I led, coordinating a full day of activities that included 12 virtual events, a virtual escape room, and a hybrid ceremony for in-person and online attendees, collaborating with diverse individuals
Carnatic Flute
My journey in Indian arts began by mimicking my sister's dance movements, leading me to start Bharatanatyam at age 6 under Kumari Lakshmi Krishan, followed by Carnatic vocal lessons at age 8. In school, I expanded my musical education through the Western Band, playing trumpet, cornet, and flugelhorn, which eventually led me to study the flute with Sridhar Sir in 2008.
Kalai Yaathirai - A production by Vasantham, a local media channel in Singapore. An opportunity where I met and interacted with flute exponent Flute J.A. Jayant and female flutist Shanthala Subramaniyam
