He is passionate about community building initiatives and hopes to give back to society in any way that he can. Encountering an elderly lady at an event sparked his interest in community building, and he has never looked back since then. As a social work student, he hopes to influence the education of youths to be community-centric and support their growth by creating meaningful initiatives together.
