HOBBY SPOTLIGHT

Why I like singing: • It’s a great stress reliever • Singing helps her stay close to her roots and continue growing spiritually What I find challenging: • It’s hard to find time to sing • It can be quite difficult to look for a professional trainer to help me improve my singing She started singing while singing Bollywood songs with friends when she was ten years old. People told her that she has a sweet voice. Since then, she has participated in singing competitions and even started classical singing training before she moved to Canada. Meet Shivani Sagar , a skilled project manager who is highly efficient in executing complex tasks. With her natural talent for leadership and problem-solving, she excels in coming up with creative ways to meet business objectives. Off work, she channels this creative energy into the art of singing.
