Community Service

My service experiences have taken me from local tutoring to international education and outreach projects, allowing me to support students, families, and communities while learning from people with very different backgrounds and experiences.

Dream Big, Bahrain            

Through Dream Big, I tutor Bahraini public school students in Grades 1 and 2, helping them strengthen their English skills through grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and conversational practice. Working with students of different ages and abilities has taught me how to adapt lessons, encourage participation, and build confidence in the classroom.

Baby Essentials Drive 

I created a baby essentials drive to support infants and toddlers at the Sunrise for Hope Children’s Foundation in Tanzania. The project raised $1,600, providing a year-long supply of diapers and formula for more than 15 children while also raising awareness about infant health in under-resourced communities.

Asitey Primary School, Ghana

At Asitey Primary School, I taught English and Biology to more than 30 fourth-grade students and collaborated with teachers and volunteers on science lessons and hands-on activities. I also organized recreational activities, assisted with classroom construction, and raised $5,000 for school supplies, classroom materials, and infrastructure improvements.

SEGA Girls’ Secondary School, Tanzania

At SEGA Girls’ Secondary School, I supported students ages 13–14 both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. I helped with schoolwork, mentored students outside of class, and contributed to the school’s composting and recycling project, giving me the opportunity to support both student learning and sustainability efforts.

Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania

At Sokoine University of Agriculture, I worked alongside graduate students and researchers to learn about Dr. Georgies Mgode’s research using trained African giant pouched rats to detect tuberculosis. The experience gave me firsthand exposure to scientific research and an innovative approach to addressing a major public health challenge.
