Volunteering

For my Junior Independent Project in January 2023, I interviewed elderly people in senior living communities about their lives and stories, recorded them, and created a book of write ups about each of them and their wisdom called "A Life of Learning." This volunteer project taught me a lot about how to make people feel seen and heard, and also a lot about how I can become a better writer. The project enriched my experience of life, exposed me to different perspectives, and expanded my capacity for empathy. 

Additional Information

My favorite hobbies are cooking and baking with my dad, reading fiction, and writing poetry!
