03 IMPACT
Community service and cultural heritage are where my values turn into action. These are the people and traditions I keep showing up for.
Service
Volunteering is where commitment becomes visible. From local drives to community events, I’ve learned that the hours that matter most are the unglamorous ones — setting up, cleaning up, and staying until the job is done.
Heritage
Celebrating my cultural roots — the food, festivals, music, and stories passed down through my family — keeps me grounded. Sharing those traditions with others turns heritage into connection.
Connection
Whether it’s welcoming new teammates into a boat or introducing friends to a tradition they’ve never experienced, I love creating the kind of spaces where people who are different from each other feel like they belong.
Looking ahead
The thread I want to keep pulling in college: using what I learn — in business, in research, in rowing — to give back to the communities that shaped me, and to open doors for the people coming after me.
