Accomplishments
I ran for the West Kelowna Youth Ambassadors Program where I was able to get my Toastmaster's certificate and learn many other valuable skills and volunteered at many community events. I have also been a part of my youth band, and recently got promoted to the team lead where I organize, schedule and plan weekly practices and performances. I have also been a part of the schools leadership program for 3 years and have developed skills in promoting and leading events and activities throughout school. These are alongside the other volunteer work I have done and stated earlier in my work experience.
