Welcome.
I’m Kavya, an aspiring content marketer obsessed with sports, media, and everything in between. Right now, I’m just a student; but soon, I’ll be the one rewriting the playbook.
I’ve created, analyzed, strategized, and told stories that spark conversations.

Synthesis Portfolio
As part of UC San Diego’s Seventh College Synthesis Program, I’ve explored the intersections of identity, communication, and climate justice through a range of writing, research, and multimedia projects. My portfolio includes personal essays, analytical research, and a reflective video narrative, all centered on the power of language, media, and storytelling to create change.
Projects span topics like code-meshing and linguistic justice, climate communication and inclusion, and the emotional impact of environmental change. I’ve also collaborated on presentations analyzing how different media forms influence action around climate issues.

International Baccalaureate Academic Portfolio
This section showcases my research and writing from the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, highlighting my interdisciplinary interests and analytical skills. For my Math Internal Assessment, I explored cricket statistics using Chi-Square and Pearson’s Correlation to analyze how strike rate impacts other performance metrics. My Extended Essay examined how vegetarian diets influence fetal nutrition at different stages of pregnancy through both primary and secondary sources. In my Biology Internal Assessment, I conducted an experiment on how various workouts, like plyometrics, cardio, and weight training, affect the vertical jump of female volleyball players. My Theory of Knowledge Essay reflected on the question, “Does some knowledge belong only to particular communities of knowers?” using personal artifacts to explore cultural knowledge. Lastly, my History Internal Assessment focused on the India-Pakistan conflict, analyzing its economic, political, and religious effects on the region of Jammu and Kashmir.
Product Marketing & Management Pitch
As part of a product marketing simulation, I created a full pitch deck for a GE stand mixer, incorporating market research, competitive analysis, and a go-to-market strategy. This project strengthened my ability to craft compelling product narratives, align branding with consumer needs, and present strategic recommendations with clarity and impact.

Social Entrepreneurship Networking Paper
For my Social Entrepreneurship class, I authored a networking paper where I connected with professionals in the field to gain insights into real-world impact and innovation. The experience deepened my understanding of social ventures and strengthened my communication and outreach skills.
EcoVision
In my AP Environmental Science class, we launched EcoVision, a student-led nonprofit aimed at reducing paper waste across local schools. Our solution replaced traditional paper posters with digital displays, funded through grassroots fundraising.
As the Art, Advertising, and Technology Manager, I led a team of 10 students and oversaw all creative content for our social media platforms. I designed and managed posts, promotional graphics, and digital assets used in our final presentation and press release.

Social Media Strategies: Paws for a Cause
As part of the California State FBLA Conference, my team and I competed in the Social Media Strategies category and placed 10th in the state. Tasked with creating a campaign to promote pet adoption, we developed Paws for a Cause, a multi-platform strategy designed to reach diverse audiences and drive engagement.
Our plan included TikTok filters, a “pet dating” app concept, a shelter tour series, and a targeted posting schedule across social channels. The presentation showcased our ability to blend creativity with audience insight, platform strategy, and campaign design to create maximum outreach.
Business Ethics: The Art Club
As part of FBLA’s 2023 state leadership conference, I led a team in the Business Ethics event, where we analyzed a case study and developed a unique solution using a SWOT analysis and SMART goals framework. I wrote the one-page executive summary, created the visual presentation, and managed team practices. Our approach earned us 2nd place in California and perfect presentation scores at the National Leadership Conference. This experience strengthened my leadership, public speaking, and critical thinking skills, especially in tackling ethical challenges through creative yet principled strategies.
Partnership Agreement
As part of an Entrepreneurship and Business Law project, my partner and I developed a full business concept for a sweets shop, then drafted a detailed Partnership Agreement to formalize our roles, responsibilities, and ownership terms. This project highlights my organizational abilities, attention to detail, and strong communication skills, particularly in collaborating effectively to create a legally sound and realistic business contract.
Lemonade Inc. Project
In this group presentation, we conducted an in-depth analysis of Lemonade Inc., a benefit corporation offering insurance with a strong social impact mission. We explored the company’s timeline, purpose, public presence, financials, board of directors, and core business functions. After evaluating its operations and values, we developed three SMART goals to support future growth. This project deepened my understanding of corporate structures, especially benefit corporations, and gave me insight into how businesses can successfully balance profit and purpose.

International Business & Marketing Student at UC San Diego, passionate about…
Growing up in LA and now living in San Diego, sports have always been a big part of my life. Whether I’m watching football, basketball, tennis, cricket, F1, or soccer, I’m endlessly curious about the stories behind the game. Beyond the game, my passion for travel and culture opened my eyes to the incredible stories waiting to be told. That’s what drives me to pursue content marketing: to be the catalyst that brings inspiring stories to life and connects people across the world.
