Summary
I’m a hardworking Year 13 student at Kuwait English School, focused on maths, physics, and chemistry. I’ve had hands on experience in real world settings from shadowing engineers at Kuwait Oil Company to helping out on a construction site. I’ve taken on leadership roles like Head of Admins in Model United Nations, where I’ve won Best Delegate and New Delegate awards. I’m also a national swimmer and rugby player with over 200 medals and 10 trophies, showing my commitment and team spirit. I’ve been part of the school’s engineering club, where I explored design and problem-solving with other students. Outside of sports, I’ve been involved in robotics, earned my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver awards, and joined international summer camps. I speak English and Georgian, and I’m driven by a strong sense of purpose to grow, support my family, and build a future where I can make a real difference.
