First-Year Scholar

Shamitha John

Hello! I'm Shamitha, a freshman at KSU! I'm a part of Dr. Xu's Mindfulness & Essentialism Research project. I'm intrigued by the power our brain holds by its various functions of it! Some of my hobbies include singing, cooking, and taking long walks during the sunset. I've been trained in singing for over 8 years, and now I teach kids Carnatic music, which is a form of traditional Indian music. My favorite evenings are cooking in the kitchen, with music playing. Always has to be music playing!
