Energetically contributed to patient care and education at Monterey Park Hospital AHMC and as a Tutoring Assistant for Carmen Hu, enhancing patient well-being and student learning through effective communication and professionalism. Demonstrated skills in Basic Life Support and fostering positive relationships, significantly boosting patient and student confidence.

I have achieved multiple academic awards while actively engaging in extracurricular activities that benefit my community. For instance, I established a student-led nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for mental health and eating disorder facilities. Additionally, I hold the role of president in two clubs I initiated. One club promotes sustainable practices in fashion by advocating for thrifting and recycling, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion. The other club educates the community on understanding the brain, offering insights into behaviors that can have long-term effects on health.

Being someone who always wants to help the environment and community around us, I have had multiple volunteer opportunities that contributed to my overall life experiences in many areas. First off, I committed my time for a couple months where I volunteered at marathons by handing out water to the runners, help clean up, and supervising the children’s areas. Along with that, I have kitchen experience from volunteering in homeless shelters where I assisted in serving and cooking food for others as I have previous experience from taking culinary courses and trainings. In addition, I have been the manager for sports teams which shows my leadership, teamwork, communication, and organization skills.

When I have any free time, I am always looking to learn more. By doing so, I dedicate my time to reading and educating myself more on current events, philosophy, and just overall broadening my knowledge in different fields to improve my self-improvement. Expanding on that, others often see me as an imaginative, creative, and artistic individual. I love exploring new things driven by my curiosity, leading me to discover my passions in painting, drawing, and music. By embracing innovative ideas, I tackle challenges from a unique angle, fostering my creativity with out-of-the-box thinking.
