" Service and storytelling are at the heart of everything I do. Through mental health advocacy, youth engagement, and creative expression, I aim to spark conversations that lead to real change. The Millennium Fellowship will amplify my ability to design impactful initiatives, connect with like-minded change makers, and align my work more intentionally with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Millennium Fellowship Project: The Mental Edge
The Mental Edge is a project aimed at educating young people, especially students about their mental health. Ways to keep it healthy, healthy ways to deal with stress, how to cope as a student etc. This project will not continue as the mental edge but under another name but with the same goal but broader target audience.
