I dedicated my time to providing tech tutoring to a diverse group of seniors, engaging with both English and Spanish-speaking individuals. My role involved assisting individuals aged 60-80 in gaining confidence with various digital devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, and smartwatches. I imparted foundational knowledge about technology, explaining concepts like app usage, home screens, and file systems on both Windows and Macbook platforms. Furthermore, I guided them in harnessing the power of Google's suite of tools, including Slides, Maps, Gmail, and Photos, all while demystifying the world of Google itself.

As a committed volunteer at the library, I excelled in organizing books, assisting patrons, and supporting diverse programs. With meticulous attention to detail, I efficiently shelved materials and contributed to the seamless operation of the library. By providing exceptional customer service and fostering an inclusive environment, I contributed to creating a welcoming space where individuals could explore knowledge and engage with the community.

Volunteering has been an incredibly rewarding journey. I’ve had the privilege to: - Teach coding to kids in homeless shelters, providing them with valuable skills and hope for a brighter future. - Tutor senior citizens on how to use technology, empowering them to stay connected and navigate the digital world with confidence.

During my volunteer experience at City of Irvine's Youth Action Team (YAT), I was able to participate in events including beach cleanups, holiday cards for veterans, and more.
