VOLUNTEERING AND ACHIEVEMENTS

  • University Course Representative, 2018-09, 2020-05, As a dedicated University Course Representative for the Business and Financial Management course, I played a crucial role in facilitating communication between students and staff. Attending regular meetings, I relayed valuable feedback provided by students on various modules, ensuring that their perspectives and concerns were effectively communicated. This responsibility significantly strengthened my communication skills, as I learned to articulate and advocate for the collective voice of my peers.
  • Camp Maldives, 2018-07, During the summer of 2018 I travelled to the Maldives with the Camp company to volunteer. My time there included supporting the local community and schools by running language classes, workshops, sport schools, reforestation projects and coral restoration projects. Teaching language classes and sports enhanced my abilities in communication, adaptability, and leadership, as I guided and motivated individuals from various backgrounds. Additionally engaging in environmental projects, such as reforestation and coral restoration, broadened my understanding of sustainability and conservation efforts. Overall, what resonated with me the most during this experience was the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures, gaining a deep appreciation for diversity and a genuine connection within the local community.
