Siri Batta
2022 High School Scholar
Layman Scott High School
Siri, the most recent Dart Scholar hailing from Cayman Brac has her sights set on one day becoming a physician with a speciality in anesthesiology. Her favourite school subjects are biology, chemistry, mathematics, information technology, digital media work and business studies. Currently learning Japanese, Siri also loves netball, volleyball, robotics and drawing. When asked who she admires most, Siri’s answer is “my mother.”
“She is one of the kindest and most hard-working people I know. She always finds a way to balance her life and spend time with those she loves most. She sets goals for herself and always diligently works towards them and has taught me that it is okay to take a break and recharge.”
