I, Ridah Shanavas, am excited to share my journey as a former student of Oakridge International School, Bachupally. I have been in association for 8 years and it’s been a wonderful journey during which I’ve grown personally and professionally.

Over the period of these 8 years, Oakridge International School, Bachupally, has unquestionably provided opportunities for me and shaped my career paths. I had the pleasure of participating in numerous student initiatives and as the student council’s prefect head in launching the Health Ambassador programme to promote the wellbeing of the students towards Sustainable Development Goals. Various one-on-one meetings with designated university counsellors were set up by Ms. Sonia so that we could decide which path to take and what the outcomes would be. They have assisted me in finding answers to all of my career-related questions, and as a result, I now have a clear understanding of my path and what I need to accomplish in the near future.

With the help of Oakridge International School, Bachupally, I am currently enrolled at California Institute of Technology where I am pursuing a double major in business and economics as well as bioengineering.

I would like to thank Oakridge for giving me the best education possible, exposing me to new things over the course of these eight years, and undoubtedly influencing the way I am today.
