From December 2021 to December 2022, I was elected as the Director of the Asian Law Students' Association, Local Chapter Universitas Padjadjaran (ALSA LC Unpad). Leading the organization through the challenges of revitalizing programs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully navigated many obstacles. Under my leadership, ALSA LC Unpad earned several accolades, including Best Delegate at the 2022 Seminar Workshop Nasional (Semworknas) in Yogyakarta, 1st place in the National Moot Court Competition (ALSA Supreme Court Cup), and successfully executed over 60 programs, both event-based and functional.

As a Foreign Affairs Staff member, I was responsible for fostering positive relationships with external parties. My role also included preparing monthly reports to provide accountability for the Local Chapter's programs to the National Board, ensuring transparency and communication on organizational initiatives.

As a Staff member for ALSA Visit, I was responsible for organizing a legal visit themed around intellectual property. Faced with COVID-19 restrictions, I adapted the event to a virtual format, successfully hosting around 100 participants. The event, titled "Legal Protection of Well-Known Marks in the Perspective of Indonesian Law," featured expert speakers from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and K&K Advocates.

In late September 2019, I was elected as Project Officer for the ALSA Care and Legal Coaching Clinic (CLCC), focusing on healthcare access. We centered our initiative on "The State as the Organizer of Healthcare Access." During the ALSA Care segment, we conducted educational sessions on stunting and the BPJS healthcare system to address the specific challenges faced by Cijeruk Village, Sumedang, West Java. We also provided free medical equipment to the local health clinic and supported immunization programs. For the Legal Coaching Clinic, we conducted advocacy through a Focus Group Discussion, inviting stakeholders and community members. This event successfully prompted government actions to resolve healthcare access issues in Cijeruk Village, and our project was nominated among the top three CLCC by ALSA Indonesia.

As a Staff member for Alumni Affairs, I was responsible for managing relationships between the organization and its alumni. I successfully executed the Alumni Talk program, which featured talk shows with alumni discussing their experiences in the legal practice. Additionally, I served as a delegate for NMCC Abdul Kahar Mudzakir IX, where I achieved 1st place in the competition.
