I am in my second year of pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Management at IISM and I am a professional Middle-Distance Track Athlete (400m, 800m & 1500m).
I chose to pursue Sports Management because I aspire to work in a field where I can freely express myself and IISM has given me this opportunity. As an athlete, my main aim has always been to improve my performance and my goal is to win a National medal in Athletics and also continue pursuing my other passions.
