Summary
Throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to work alongside individuals of all ages, from volunteering at disability centers to assisting seniors in nursing homes. These experiences have not only taught me invaluable lessons but have also allowed me to forge meaningful connections with those I've encountered. As an assistant swim instructor for children aged 4-12, I've been able to further develop my teaching skills and make a positive impact on their learning journey.
