Tanvi – Campbell Collegiate

My name is Tanvi Pandya, and I am extremely passionate about business, agriculture and my culture. Currently, I am the President of the Campbell Collegiate Business Club and have been involved with the program since Grade 9. Through our business program, I had the opportunity to explore the agriculture industry and the privilege to represent Canada at the Global Youth Institute in Des Moines, Iowa. In addition, I was invited, just recently, to be a youth panelist at Canada Agriculture Day in Ottawa, Ontario. This was an opportunity to share my unique story with youth from across Canada as well as government officials and business professionals. I have a vision and passion to serve the millions of malnourished people in our world – a career in business and agriculture will help me fulfill this responsibility.

Besides school, I really enjoy contributing my time in the community through volunteering at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I participated in their major events and served on their Run Committee.

I enjoy relaxing by myself with some soothing yoga stretches and Indian classical music after a busy day at school and in extracurricular activities. I have been learning yoga and breathing techniques since Grade 7 through the courses conducted by the Art of Living Foundation. I have been learning Indian classical music since Grade 3 and also exposing myself to Indian Bollywood music. That’s me in a snap-shot! To conclude, it is my honour to share my story with our local community through Twelfth Year!
