  • Description

    My greatest source of joy is created from being an integral part of a community dedicated to creating a positive impact. Each morning, I relish the prospect of engaging in meaningful activities that contribute to the well-being of others. It's the simple, yet profound, moments in life that revolve around human connection which bring me the most happiness. I find immense fulfillment in creating relationships within a community of kindred spirits who share a common sense of purpose. Having had the privilege to explore diverse corners of the globe, I've discovered that my most cherished memories are those woven into the fabric of local cultures and communities.

  • More details about your skills

    My primary professional journey has centered around customer service, a domain in which I've honed my skills while working as a lead food server at a senior center. In this role, I not only undertook the tasks of food preparation, dining room setup, table service, bussing, and dishwashing in a fast-paced environment, but also navigated the unique challenges posed by residents with dementia and specific dietary needs. My commitment extended beyond the routine responsibilities as I diligently familiarized myself with each resident's preferences, ensuring their dining experience in the senior center was not only efficient but also enjoyable.

    Additionally, I had the distinct pleasure of serving as a camp counselor at an environmentally focused Quaker camp catering to children aged 7-14. This immersive experience involved not only ensuring the safety and well-being of the campers but also leading various activities such as art, yoga, and more. Living in platform tents, embracing outdoor showers, and minimizing access to technology fostered a unique and intentional connection to nature. Our role as counselors went beyond traditional responsibilities, as we actively worked to create a nurturing community that instilled a sense of environmental responsibility and emphasized the importance of communal bonds.

    In parallel to my professional experiences, I am a committed full-time honors student at Drexel University, fortunate to be on a full academic scholarship. My academic pursuits span the domains of Public Health, Environmental Science, and Sociology. I have further enriched my education through hands-on experiences in professional labs and environmental fieldwork.
