Projects

• Organized and executed a fundraising campaign for the homeless crisis within the UK, garnering over £700 and donating winter wear bought by myself and my team. We educated and brought awareness of the homeless crisis in the UK to students throughout our secondary school by hosting assemblies and class discussions.

• Involved in the Pupil Leadership Program which helped grow my skills in leadership and business. I was appointed as the main marketer within the group. My tasks were to create promotional, creative, and eye-catching advertisements to engage the student body. One of my memorable projects was a fair that I helped organize and even participated in. We raised a total of £900.

• Due to my interest in Engineering, I was elected to participate in a Go-Kart project. This entailed creating a kart with a team from almost scratch to eventually enter (and win) a nationwide tournament. I took up the task of the Project Manager. Some of the responsibilities included speaking and coordinating sponsors, allocating the correct budget for the parts, and ensuring that we were on top of the task.

• As of March 2023, I and a few of my friends decided to create a clothing brand. It is currently a work in progress.
