I am dynamic community worker with a passion for enriching the lives of those around me through various interests and activities. I find joy and expression in dance, using it as a way to connect with people and spread positivity. My love for music extends beyond personal enjoyment—I use it as a tool to understand and relate to others, often incorporating music into community events to lift spirits and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. I also lead community nature walks and environmental awareness programs, aiming to inspire others to appreciate and protect their natural surroundings. I also enjoy the physical challenge by playing badminton with my friends and family members to share similar interests. My compassion and empathy drives me community efforts, from organizing support groups and wellness workshops to providing individual assistance. I believe in the power of connection and strives to make every person feel valued and supported.
