We first spoke to Kāpiti College student Aroa Al Masri when she was selected to appear on a Korean reality TV show.
Well, as it turns out, TV star is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Aroa's talents.
She's a champion equestrian, the frontperson of the band Distill, she's performed and directed Shakespear monlogues, and played the lead role in her school musical. She's served as her school's Arts Captain and has now been named Head of Kura.

Amidst all this she's travelled to Japan and Vietnam offering service, served her own community as a youth council chair on the Kāpiti District Council, and still achieved NCEA with Excellence.
Jesse speaks to Aroa today about what drives her and what may be in her future.
