About me
Hi, I’m Aaliya Verma. I’m a 15-year-old high school student living in Dubai, born in Singapore and raised with a global perspective.
I enjoy challenging myself, exploring new ideas and finding opportunities to grow as a leader.
I enjoy exploring complex ideas, thinking critically and communicating persuasively. Through Harvard Debate, I analyse policy issues, build compelling arguments and express my ideas with confidence. Writing also helps me approach problems creatively and think beyond the obvious.
Swimming has been an important part of my journey. I currently compete on my high school junior varsity swim team and was selected for MESAC before the competition was postponed because of conditions in the UAE. Serving previously as captain of my middle school swim team strengthened my leadership and taught me to support and motivate others.
I am an active vocalist in my High School Concert Choir, MESAC Choir and AMIS Choir, with a memorable past performance at Dubai Opera. I also play guitar and take private vocal lessons. Music helps me express myself creatively, collaborate with others and step confidently outside my comfort zone.
I am interested in business, innovation and entrepreneurship. My long-term goal is to study business administration and entrepreneurship at a university in the United States or London, building the skills, mindset and global perspective needed to turn ideas into meaningful opportunities.
I love being in the mountains, the colours of autumn and snowy winter days. I also explore my creativity through design, music and writing. Whether I am in the pool, on stage, in a debate or working on a new idea, I value opportunities to learn, challenge myself and discover what I can achieve.
