Volunteer
Mini Cat Town
Milpitas, California
02.2025 - 05.2025
- I took care of rescued cats and kittens by cleaning pens and enclosures, refilling food and water, and providing entertainment. I interacted and socialized with the cats to increase their comfort around other people and their adoptability. I helped visitors with payments, answered questions, explained the rules for interacting with the cats, and shared information about adoption.

- I took care of a class of 5- to 8-year-olds each day. I taught students the basics of music: understanding notes, reading sheet music, and counting rhythm. I introduced students to six or more instruments (two to three per week) and taught simple melodies on each. Encouraged students to persevere despite having difficulties at the beginning.
