Being respectful to every individual without any social discrimination is one of her core values. As a psychology student, She knows how our behaviour can affect others in different ways, so she believes in behaving humbly and having positive regard towards all. She holds responsibilities for whatever she does and is focused on moving out of her comfort. Hence she eagerly wants to produce a change for women by this program and have the courage to stand with them against societal norms or any hardship.
