Work Experience: I have not done any jobs as of right now, however, I have many volunteer experiences where I’ve assisted with setting up events. I am currently a part of the Peel Parents Parties for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, which is a committee dedicated to bringing children and families together through annual events. I’ve also actively been a part of the PDSB HOH Social as a panelist for the past 2 years.
