Lyah Muktavaram ’22 doesn’t let her busy schedule stop her from pursuing her passions. Muktavaram joined the Inklings News community as a staff writer for the 2019-20 school year and hopes to continue developing her reporting skills in the Advanced Journalism class. 

Muktavaram especially valued her experiences contributing to Ursus, Bedford Middle School’s publication. 

“First of all, it was the community, and it was also really fun writing and interviewing,” Muktavaram said. “I just want to keep doing [journalism].” 

She couples her passion for journalism with extracurricular activities including Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras, cross country and skiing. Muktavaram also reserves time for traveling – she appreciates her experiences exploring China this summer along with  India, France and Spain last year. 

Muktavaram looks forward to bringing this same excitement and commitment to her reporting.
