I had the opportunity to lead my school’s Hmong Student Association as club president, organizing events that supported and engaged the local Hmong community, an often underrepresented culture. I also helped educate others about Hmong history and traditions, while hosting fundraising events to give back to the community.

During my student internship, I had the opportunity to make a direct impact on the community by helping plan and coordinate meaningful events. One of the highlights was organizing and hosting a Thanksgiving event that served members of the local community, which showed me the importance of intentional outreach and service. Through this experience, I developed skills in budgeting and event marketing, especially using social media to drive engagement and participation. I also collaborated with the Sacramento Police Department on youth mental health and safety initiatives, which gave me valuable insight into community-based partnerships. What made this experience most impactful was the focus on mental health and bullying prevention. We didn’t just learn about these issues, we actively applied that knowledge to design events that addressed real needs in the community. It pushed me to think more intentionally about how to create programs that are both meaningful and effective.

Transferred with the intent of pursuing a business degree, concentrating in finance, and continuing to take advantage of every opportunity to learn through hands-on experience.

Enrolled in early dual enrollment during high school, accelerating my progress toward transfer while maintaining a strong GPA in preparation for transferring to a California Polytechnic school.
