I assist my father in running a local photo studio, which has given me valuable experience in customer service, photography, and managing a small business. Whether it’s helping with photoshoots or handling day-to-day tasks, I’ve learned how to balance the creative and business sides of a family-run business. Over the years, I’ve taken on increasing responsibilities, including assisting with wedding photography and videography, which has been a great way to build practical skills and contribute to my family’s livelihood.

As part of a team, I built websites for local businesses, helping them establish an online presence and grow their customer base. This project not only helped the community thrive but also raised funds to support the Empowerment Hub. Over two years, we earned around $8,000, which was reinvested into purchasing computers for the Hub. I developed both front-end and back-end features, learning a lot about web development and the importance of digital tools for businesses.

As the Head Boy of my school, I take pride in being a bridge between students and teachers. I lead the student council, help organize events, and make sure student voices are heard. Whether it’s resolving issues, planning activities, or encouraging classmates, I try to lead with kindness and responsibility. It’s not just a title for me—it’s a chance to support others, build trust, and make school a better place for everyone. This role has taught me how to lead by example, stay calm under pressure, and always think of the bigger picture before making decisions.

ProjectsInspire Award Science Project – Wireless Electricity Transmission
Role - Lead Innovator & Presenter
for Industrial
Jul 25, 2022 - Jul 1, 2023
This project started with a “what if?” moment. I had been reading about Nikola Tesla and his dream to send electricity through the air without wires. It sounded like science fiction, but the idea stuck in my head. I kept thinking—why can’t we try something like that today? Especially when there are still so many people in nearby villages who don’t have proper electricity. It felt unfair that something as basic as power was still a luxury for so many. So, I decided to at least try.
With a bunch of wires, copper coils, and a whole lot of trial and error, I started building a prototype. It was nothing fancy—just simple parts and a big dream. After weeks of adjusting and testing, I finally managed to light up a small bulb without any physical connection. That moment gave me goosebumps. I couldn’t believe it actually worked. I showed it to my teachers, and they encouraged me to enter it in the Inspire Awards.
The project ended up winning at the state level, and then made it to the top 3 nationally—something no one in my city had ever done. That was one of the proudest moments of my life. I got to present it in front of real scientists and experts. They listened to me, and that felt amazing.
Unfortunately, due to lack of funding and my family’s limited financial situation, I couldn’t take it any further. But this project showed me what’s possible when you combine curiosity with effort. I still dream of working on it again in the future—maybe improving it or making it useful for real communities. For me, it was never just about lighting a bulb. It was about sparking hope.
Empowerment Hub
Role - Director

The Empowerment Hub is something really close to my heart. I started it because I saw so many people around me—kids, adults, even parents—who had never even touched a computer. In today’s world, that just didn’t feel right. So with a few friends, I decided to do something about it.
Every evening, we meet for an hour in a small room with a few laptops—some donated, some bought with money we earned by making websites for local shops. We teach basic stuff at first, like how to use a mouse, type, search on Google, or write something in Word. Slowly, when people get comfortable, we move on to things like Excel, PowerPoint, even basic coding and graphic design.
We don’t follow a strict plan—we just go at everyone’s pace, answer questions, and try to make it fun. It’s amazing to see someone who was scared to touch a keyboard now confidently sending emails or creating something on Canva. We laugh a lot, celebrate small wins, and keep encouraging everyone. Every day, someone surprises themselves with what they can achieve.
Why do we do this? Because we’ve seen how learning these skills changes lives. Some of our students have landed jobs, others started earning online, and most importantly, they believe in themselves now. That’s the best part. It’s not just about computers—it’s about giving people a chance they never had before. Watching someone go from “I can’t” to “I did it!” is what keeps us going every single day. Seeing their pride when they succeed is priceless, and it reminds me why I do what I do. Every little victory counts, and it all adds up to something big.

The Empowerment Hub started as a way to help people in my community who didn’t have access to basic computer skills. I noticed how many people, young and old, struggled to get by because they didn’t know how to use a computer. They couldn’t even apply for jobs online or access basic resources, which just didn’t feel right. So, I thought, why not teach them?
We meet every day for an hour in a small room with a few computers, some donated, some funded through the money we raised by building websites for local businesses. At first, we start with the basics—how to use a mouse, type, search the internet, and create a simple document. Once they get the hang of it, we move on to tools like Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. For those who want to learn more, we even dive into coding basics and graphic design.
What makes us different is how we approach teaching. There’s no rigid curriculum, no pressure. We go at each person’s pace, answer all their questions, and keep things fun. Everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s amazing to see someone who’s never used a computer before start to feel confident navigating it.
The best part? Watching these students transform. Many of them have found jobs, started freelancing, or simply gained the confidence to take on new challenges. It’s not just about teaching skills—it’s about giving people a shot at a better future. And seeing them realize their potential, and knowing we played a part in that, is incredibly rewarding. That’s what keeps me going every day. Knowing that with each new skill learned, a life is changing for the better.
