My first volunteer experience was in secondary school. My school was always holding bake sales and encouraging us to fundraise for various charities around town.

But I don’t think I fully appreciated the impact and significance of charities like SERVE until my education opened my eyes to all the injustices that still exist in the world.

I think it was difficult to understand in school how a bake sale could help someone halfway around the world.

My education, on the other hand, has taught me the value of volunteering and fundraising.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and health from MTU and a master’s degree in public health from UL.

My MSc in Public Health introduced me to a wide range of people and highlighted many of the fundamental rights that people are still fighting for.

I believe that volunteering or assisting charities in any way possible pushes you to grow in many ways while also contributing to the fight against social injustices.

I am excited to begin my journey with SERVE and see how far I can push myself, learn along the way, and hopefully make a difference in the world where it matters.
