Sanjana Menon
Mumbai
Summary
I am a second year student who is currently pursuing a major in Psychology and minor in English Literature from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. I aspire to be a clinical psychologist in the near future. Along with being deeply interested in academics, I am committed towards taking part in extracurricular activities that focus majorly on driving social change. I have gained valuable experience working in a global environment, interacting with multi-cultural students and co-tutors, and actively contributing as a secretary in the Social Service League, where I’ve explored the impact of education across diverse communities. I have had experience working with children in various capacities. With a flair for writing and oration, I enjoy using various platforms as a medium for expression. Apart from these, I take part in fests and committees through the management, literary and film departments to build on my skills.
