Summary

Driven by compassionate engagement and critical application of practical suggestions, I excelled at The BigProject Elderly Assistance, fostering intergenerational connections within the Asian community in Canada during COVID-19. Leveraging supportive collaborations and proposed research skills, I significantly enhanced mental wellbeing and cultural awareness, utilizing bilingual content to bridge generational gaps effectively. Some transferable skills I gained from this volunteering opportunity are graphic design, sound track recording, and making online shopping tutorials.
