Bio

Hi! I’m Kaiyah, and I'm a college freshman at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. I am incredibly passionate about international relations and foreign languages, and I aspire to work in foreign services, helping people connect across cultures. Language learning is one of my favourite activities because it pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps me understand how others live and think. I study Spanish and French at school and recently started learning Mandarin independently. Outside of school, I prioritise staying active in my community through volunteer work with various organisations. Whether packing food hampers, supporting literacy and reading events, or planning school-wide activities as a dedicated student government member, I always strive to step up and lead with purpose and consistency. These experiences have taught me to speak up, stay organised, and advocate for the rights and needs of others. I'm using Bold.org as a way to potentially help my family cover the expenses for my education. They've sacrificed a lot for me up until now, so I want to do my best to help them in any way I can. Hopefully, I'll be able to use this as an opportunity to graduate from college smoothly and repay my family, friends, and community tenfold for how much they've selflessly given me.
