I received individualised support & mentorship from my professors, engaged in paper presentations, declamation contests, and international conferences. Serving as a rapporteur for Belletristic instilled in me a strong motivation to pursue a career as a content writer. The opportunity to contribute as a writer for my alma mater brings me great joy and fulfilment.
