Having joined Veerni in 2012, M has brought with her the same energy and mischief she admits to exhibiting in her village. Her fun personality means that M has had no problems making friends and is constantly entertaining the girls with her stories and her jokes. With such boundless energy, it comes as no surprise that M’s favorite time of the week is when she is playing sports with her friends, whether it be cricket, handball or kabadi. She is also a wonderful dancer.

Beyond the fun and laughter, M has an inquisitive nature and is keen to learn about the world around her. This is clearly translated into her studies and her love of social studies, which incorporates the study of human development over history. While M is uncertain about what she wants to do in the future, she knows that she wants to pursue this passion for social studies through to college.
