Penny for Poverty
I co-founded Penny for Poverty to fundraise for the homeless community in Metro Vancouver. We hosted fundraisers across UBC campus for donation to Options BC. With a classmate, I also designed and built ShelterLink, an app to assist users experiencing homelessness to locate the nearest available shelter.

Penny for Poverty
At Geering Up Engineering Outreach, I was a Junior Instructor (JI) responsible for keeping students at camp on track while helping other students who are stuck on a particular step. Despite the negative comments from my peers of how exhausting the camp was, I surprised myself by actually having fun there.
