Born and raised in Kamloops, I’m deeply rooted in this community and passionate about connecting with people, bridging local-to-global perspectives. My educational journey, from Dufferin Elementary to Sa-Hali Secondary and Thompson Rivers University’s Bachelor of Communications and Digital Journalism (Public Relations), has instilled in me a strong foundation of academic excellence and communication skills. As a consistent honour roll student, a gold chord recipient, and a three-time Dean’s List honoree, I’ve demonstrated a dedication to achievement.
My unique blend of experiences sets me apart. I’ve successfully built a thriving online community through my “Punjabi Pump Playlist” and Instagram media page, “Punjabi Pump,” garnering attention from major artists like Chani Nattan and Intense. This experience showcases my ability to connect with audiences and build a powerful online presence, demonstrating a local-to-global reach.
Beyond academics and digital media, I’m committed to community service. For years, I’ve volunteered weekly at the Kamloops Gurudwara Sahib Society and coached the Grade 8 basketball team at Brocklehurst Secondary, leading them to city championships and provincials. These roles have honed my ability to communicate effectively with diverse age groups, from young athletes to elders.
My part-time work as a taxi driver at Kami Cabs has further broadened my communication skills, allowing me to interact with people from all walks of life. I’ve learned to navigate conversations with everyone from business professionals to the late-night crowd, enhancing my adaptability and interpersonal skills.
