Volunteer Activities
MUSIC COORDINATOR / MENTOR
I currently volunteer as a Music Coordinator and Mentor to teenagers at my local church Royal House located in the Heart of Downtown St. Catharines, ON. I contribute to helping teenagers grow spiritually, academically, and morally. This also gives me the opportunity to grow in character dealing with teenagers and understanding how their mindset is formed. Furthermore, helping them discover things they are good at and training them to get better at it e.g singing, playing instruments like the keyboard, bass guitar and drum set.
PLAYING SOCCER
I currently play in two leagues, the Sunday Coed and Welland Mens' League. I am very invested in the sport and in my team as I engage/collaborate with my coach brainstorming on tactics and strategies to win every game we play. For the Coed League, my team has consistently shuffled among the top best 3 teams over 4 years since I joined. For the mens' league, we have also maintained the 2nd best team in the league since I joined 2 years ago. Overall, I am looking forward to playing in a much competitive level hoping someday I play for the great nation of Canada.
