From a Small Village to Global Workspaces – My Journey of Adaptation
The first thing I ever made was a Rangoli decoration using cut vegetables, fruits, and flowers for a school competition when I was seven. It wasn’t planned. I simply picked up what I had, played with colors, and turned it into something beautiful. That moment wasn’t just a childhood memory—it was a glimpse into the way I would approach life.
I grew up in a small village in India, surrounded by open fields, long walks to the beach, and days spent helping my grandma on the farm. My world was simple, yet filled with endless little things to observe and recreate. I drew everything I saw, finding joy in the way shapes and patterns fit together. I didn’t just like art—I liked making things happen.
The Foundations of Learning
School was where I first found ways to turn my interests into something more. Competitions became my playground—quilling, origami, calligraphy, and sketching, all self-taught and instinctive. I didn’t just enjoy the process of creating; I enjoyed figuring out how things worked.
By the time I was 16, I had my first professional role—a student ambassador for the Frapp app. It was a small step, but it introduced me to something that would shape my future: the digital world. I started experimenting with video edits, animation, and online content, learning how to build something from nothing in a way that could reach people beyond my small town.
Wilson College – The Power of Teams and Leadership
When I joined Wilson College for my Bachelor’s in Management Studies, I didn’t just attend classes—I immersed myself in experiences. In my first year alone, I participated in 23 college fests, stepping into roles that required me to plan, organize, and work with different teams under tight deadlines.
By my second year, I became the Head of the Admin Team for HOPE, an intercollegiate charity event. It was my first major leadership role, where I handled everything from logistics to execution, ensuring that a large-scale event ran smoothly. This wasn’t just about management; it was about understanding people, problem-solving, and executing ideas in real time—skills that would become invaluable in my future career.
A New Chapter – Moving to the UK
At 22, I took the biggest leap of my life. I left behind everything I knew and moved to the UK for my Master’s. I wasn’t just chasing a degree; I was challenging myself to build a life from scratch in a new country.
From a small village to one of the biggest cities in the world, my journey has never followed a straight path. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this—adaptability is everything. No matter where you are or what you do, your ability to learn, unlearn, and reinvent yourself is what keeps you moving forward.
And forward, I went.
