About
Hi!
I’m Dibya and I will be a freshman in high school this upcoming school year. I’m so excited for the many opportunities that my school offers where I can express myself and also make a positive impact. Creativity and science sparks great interest to me and I want to use my middle school experiences to hopefully make a bigger idea with them, even how to interlink the two. I’m a multi-disciplinary artist that sings choral, western, and Indian classical music, plays the violin and piano, train in Bharatanatyam and Hiphop, and do art like oil pastels & sketch. One idea that I came up with was to blend the Indian dance style with the Hip-hop world and I believe that this has brought me to express my feelings in so many ways which brings me much joy. Other things I love to do is reading, traveling, fitness, playing with my brother, creating stuff, and eating all sorts of foods. On the academic side, I really like to learn about biomedical science. One factor why could be due to my love for helping people, and so there’s a great chance that I’d do this as a career/passion. I’m always eager to learn and grow.
