Service, Volunteer and Community Work

• Annual Service Learning Day

  Founder and organizer of an annual, student-led service initiative partnering with community-based organizations in East Palo Alto to deliver health screenings, resource navigation, and essential supplies. The program is designed not only to meet immediate community needs, but also to model how structured academic–community partnerships can address gaps in access to care.
