Community involvement

West Hills Hospital, Junior Volunteer, West Hills, CA, 2015-2016. Running errands throughout hospital such as discharging patients using a wheelchair, delivering food trays, transporting specimens to laboratory, welcoming and guiding visitors at the lobby desk, answering phone calls, and organizing the volunteer's annual banquet. This is my favorite volunteer experience because of the opportunity to be in the presence of a staff that works to save lives. I have a first-hand experience at their time at work and am inspired by their resilience every day.
