Volunteer Experience

I believe that service is integral to a happy life. I love serving my fellow people and community. One of my dreams in my life is to establish a city garden for the unhoused, and anyone who wants to learn to garden. I grew up spending many weekends volunteering with Eagle Scout projects, cleaning elderly peoples’ homes, volunteering at my school garden, and was a camp counselor.
