PROJECTS
Children's Autism Care Center— Volunteer
Throughout all four years of college, I volunteered at a children's autism center. Originally, I started volunteering to look after my cousin who attends the same clinic I volunteered at. Then, I became very fond of how the therapists handled every kid with such care as if they were their own. I created so many relationships with the kids and their family members. So, I decided to minor in psychology during my undergraduate years to learn more about human behavior. The more I learned, the more I understood and it made volunteering more bearable.
Pious Project— Volunteer
This past year I lost my father, grandfather and uncle all within the span of six months. When my father passed, we decided to open up a Pious Project that helped build wells in his name in third world countries. These wells were made in my fathers name as a way to bring good deeds to him even after he has passed. Seeing the work this organization did, I wanted to help in any way I could. With that

being said, I ended up joining the team of an office close to where I lived, and we helped put together projects to be carried out in third world countries.
