Rutalee is a writer for the Wellness section of the King's College London (KCL) chapter. She shares experiences and advice for wellbeing, and is specifically interested in looking at wellbeing through a global lens, exploring different approaches from around the world.
She is in her third year of studying a BA in English with Film Studies, after being drawn to London because of its thriving arts scene and its multiculturalism. Having studied English, Drama and History at A-Levels, and going on to select modules about globalisation and revolutions in her degree, her interests lie in looking at the historical background of the aspects that are in our modern lives. Wellness, for her, is not only about the suggestions for how to improve one's wellbeing (although she shares plenty of those!), but also about understanding why and how these ideas and experiences have been formed. An aspiring magazine journalist, she is looking forward to exploring different forms of writing, such as anecdotal essays, quick guides and more.
Outside of writing, her passions are constantly shifting month after month based on whatever new hobby she has decided to pick up. However, since primary school, her longstanding love has been theatre - she has grown up acting in plays, being part of youth theatre companies and occasionally stepping backstage to explore other roles like directing and producing. Currently (a bit late into an English degree), she is discovering a newfound love for Shakespeare that extends out of the plays she studied in school. Apart from acting, she enjoys rewatching her favourite romcoms for the 100th time (an effective way to boost wellbeing!), painting and listening to new music artists.
