Project:
I work at LTSC under Resident Services supporting their Mi CASA summer program, which is a free, 5-week summer program for the kids that live in LTSC's low-income housing units. I've attended events such as the LTSC staff picnic, Sake in the Park, and many more LTSC-related events.
Proud Achievements:
Definitely just working with the kids, as a camp counselor you're responsible for a part of the camper's childhoods, and being able to uplift them and see them grow is incredibly important to me. As a whole, I'm proud to be working and representing LTSC, as it is a huge organization responsible for a lot of good in the community.
