Community Services & Academic Awards
Most of my volunteer work outside of school is done with Care Mission USA . Care Mission USA is a charity organization dedicated to assisting the underprivileged. During my time with Care Mission USA, I was involved in numerous acts of service. These ranged from baking and giving cookies to the homeless in Los Angeles, to making masks, shields, and personal protective equipment for local hospitals. I also offered free tutoring to children from low-income families and helped organize a yearly blanket drive for those in need.
