IB Diploma · Class of 2027 · Hill Spring International School, Mumbai
Science student with a clinical bent, a writer’s habits, and a gymnast’s discipline.
I’m a Grade 12 IB Diploma student in Mumbai taking Biology, Chemistry and Business Management at Higher Level. I’m drawn to medicine: I spent three weeks inside the operating theatre of the National Burns Centre, observing skin grafts and scar excisions and scrubbing in, under supervision, on a debridement and grafting procedure. Writing runs alongside the science, from a Hindustan Times essay scholarship at eleven to Yale Young Global Scholars in 2025. Outside class I train in aerial silks and hoop, and teach science to fourth and fifth graders.
