Outside of school, Panda has a deep passion for dancing and has been a dancer since the age of four, performing Odissi and Bollywood dance. As an avid dancer, Panda joined UPA Guzaarish last year and is currently an officer for the club. In two years, Panda is looking forward to her graduation in Odissi dance, known as Ranga Puja. In addition to being a dancer, she enjoys swimming and playing the piano in her free time. In the future, Panda wishes to pursue some form of a medical career, either in psychology or pediatrics. She values the attributes of honesty, humor and loyalty, especially in her friends and peers, as she wants to feel comfortable with those around her. Panda believes that the best advice she has ever received is to surround herself with good people, which she was told by her parents. As a new reporter this year, Panda wants to focus more on pollution, global warming, social discrimination and other neglected topics of such nature. Panda is also excited to interview peers and in general, contribute to Aquila.
