My Journey

From curiosity to calling.

How a fascination with the way things work grew into a clear goal — a future in Dentistry and Biochemistry. These are the milestones, projects and people that shaped the path so far.

Timeline

The story so far

2024 – 25

The Curiosity Phase

Discovering my love for science and starting the IB Diploma.

2025 – 26

Diving Deeper

Tackling Biology and Chemistry IAs, and shadowing my first local dentist.

Present

The Digital Canvas

Launching this website to document my growth and prepare for university.

Chapters

What shaped me

I. The Spark

It started with curiosity — wanting to know not just what happens in the body, but why. Somewhere along the way, science stopped being a subject and became a way of seeing the world.

II. The Bio-Chem Track

Molecular biology, enzyme kinetics and human physiology became my favourite topics — and my Internal Assessments and Extended Essay gave me the chance to investigate questions of my own.

III. The Clinical Side

Shadowing a local dentist showed me the reality of the profession — the skill, the care and the human connection behind every appointment — and confirmed that this is the work I want to do.

IV. The Balanced Self

Building this website, coding, travel, music and poetry keep me creative and energised — the balance that helps me thrive under the IB workload.

Projects & experiences

Where learning met the real world

Clinical

Dental Shadowing

Observing dentists at work and seeing the reality of patient care up close. It showed me that great dentistry is as much about patience and communication as it is about precision.

Programme

Johns Hopkins

My journey, my learning, my creativity — a chapter that pushed me to think bigger about science and the kind of future I want to build.

Project

Imperial Project

Learning, creativity and impact — broadening my base and giving back to society.

Health tech

AI Saving Lives: Imaging IQ

Exploring how artificial intelligence in medical imaging could help doctors detect illness earlier — and, ultimately, save lives.

Social impact

Safer Together: Tech & Data Against Bullying

Using technology and data-driven insight to understand bullying — and to find practical, real-world ways to help solve it.

Looking ahead

Next comes university — and with it, research opportunities, dental school, and the chance to contribute to the scientific community.
