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.

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.
