Born and raised in the vibrant city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Dhvani Shah’s life has been a tapestry of diverse experiences and achievements. Ethiopia is known as the “13 Months of Sunshine,” and its capital, Addis Ababa, was the backdrop of Dhvani’s early years, where she first developed a love for technology and creativity. In the 10th standard, Dhvani moved to India, a transition that marked the beginning of her pursuit of higher education and her journey toward realizing her dreams.

Currently, Dhvani is pursuing her Master’s in Computer Applications from LJ University. In addition to her academic pursuits, she is also a Placement Cell Coordinator at LJ University. This role is a significant responsibility, as it has prepared her for the professional world by honing her organizational skills, background check capabilities, and verbal communication through interactions with potential recruiters. She has also gained valuable experience in data management and creating reports.

Dhvani’s foray into modeling was serendipitous. It began at her university, where she auditioned for a beauty pageant called Mr. and Miss LJ during her second year. Selected as a finalist and a model for Sans Studio Outfits, Dhvani’s photogenic features and natural charm earned her widespread praise and opened doors to further opportunities. Her modeling journey soared from there, culminating in her participation in Miss Gujarat, where she won the title of Miss Gujarat 2nd runner-up.

This experience in the modeling world has been transformative for Dhvani. It has instilled in her a relentless drive to seize every opportunity and give her best effort. The confidence and boldness she has gained have empowered her to shine in various aspects of her life.

Her grandfather’s dedication to community service and philanthropic efforts left a lasting impression on Dhvani, instilling in her a deep respect for individuals and a passion for social service. Her mother’s warm-hearted, caring nature and her father’s diligence and persistence have further shaped her into a well-rounded and determined individual.

Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Embracing each day with gratitude and positivity allows her to create beautiful memories and impact those around her. She is passionate about exploring new experiences, connecting with people, and making the most of every opportunity that comes her way. Living with this mindset not only enriches her own life but also inspires others to do the same.
