Outreach and Community

In 2023, I was humbled and honored to receive The Diana Award, the highest accolade a young person can achieve for social action and humanitarian work. Named in memory of Princess Diana, this award celebrates young changemakers who are committed to making a difference in the lives of others. For me, it was a moment of deep reflection and renewed purpose. It means the world to me to be carrying forward Princess Diana’s legacy.

Serving society has always been close to my heart, whether through education, mentorship, or outreach initiatives. From a young age, I have believed in using my voice, time, and skills to uplift those around me, and this recognition has only deepened my commitment to create meaningful and lasting change in the world.

I believe real impact begins with compassion, and that even the smallest act of service can ripple outward in extraordinary ways.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
