A Passion for Impact:
I'm a dedicated volunteer with a strong commitment to social good, environmental stewardship, and youth empowerment. Throughout my journey, I've actively participated in various initiatives that address critical issues and promote positive change.

Education and Global Citizenship:
My passion for education led me to join the STEM Ambassadors program in August 2023. There, I contribute to igniting enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and math in younger generations. This aligns with my experience as an International Mentor with the OCIIP since January 2022, where I guide and support aspiring innovators and creators.

In August 2023, I participated as a Delegate at the Nexus Model United Nations, gaining valuable experience in diplomacy and global cooperation. Previously, in October 2020, I took part in the Youth International Summit Model UN, further solidifying my interest in international affairs.

Environmental Advocacy and Action:
Combating climate change is a crucial concern for me. Since November 2021, I've served as a Climate Action Project Educator with Take Action Global, actively raising awareness and inspiring others to take action. Additionally, I volunteered with the Environment and Safety Volunteer Corps from August 2020 to August 2022, contributing to environmental protection and safety initiatives.

Promoting Goodwill and Social Change:
Currently, I hold the prestigious position of Ambassador with the Global Goodwill Ambassadors Foundation (GGAF) since March 2024. This role allows me to champion social causes and advocate for a more just and equitable world.

My Commitment Continues:
My volunteer experiences have instilled in me a lifelong dedication to making a difference. I'm eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to continue contributing to positive social and environmental change.
