Okotoks,AB

Summary

I am an energetic, enthusiastic, service-minded individual who wants to help out in the community in any way I can. As someone who has a family history of dementia, studied the science behind Alzheimer's and volunteered to serve those with dementia, I am particularly passionate about YouQuest's mission, and I understand the struggles of those whom YouQuest serves. As a founder and president of a successful service club at the university, I took on the role of volunteer coordinator for multiple projects, virtual and on-site, for four years. I also acted as a VP of Service for the Golden Key Honor Society, where I took on a similar role. I strongly believe I have the skills and enthusiasm needed to make the most out of the Volunteer Coordinator position at YouQuest, and hope to hear from you soon regarding my candidacy.
