• Academic Support (2017) – Social Prefect
• Noticed classmates struggling, so I organized after-school study groups (10–15 peers). We shared notes, reviewed homework, and prepared for tests. One friend who failed midterms later passed with a B after joining us.
• Creative Workshops
• Hosted art sessions after school, helping peers improve calligraphy, mosaics, and origami. One friend folded a perfect crane after many tries. Our work was shown at the school festival.
• Community Outreach
• Organized National Children’s Day visit to an Orphanage. Delivered 50+ toys and books, and played games with the children. One boy said it was his first birthday gift, which reminded me how small acts can bring joy.
• School Environment Project
• Led monthly clean-ups with student volunteers. We collected trash, cut bushes, and painted walls. The principal called it the cleanest semester in years.
• Diploma Mentoring
• Helped 10 peers in Government courses with weekly review sessions. All improved grades, and one went from a D to a B. I learned that patience helps others succeed.

I have completed professional training in Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Project Management to strengthen my readiness for leadership and research in Public Administration. These courses enhanced my ability to evaluate policies using data, apply technology to improve governance, and manage development projects effectively from planning to implementation. I’m passionate about innovation, lifelong learning, and using data-driven strategies to create positive social impact.
