Having voice is one of the most influential superpowers a person can have to make a strong impact on their self and world. Creating videos is my superpower to give voice to my own experiences and similar experiences that have silenced from mainstream society. My hope is to bridge connections through video storytelling... Current Projects:- Cope With Me Through Depression video. DirectorWorking with an assistant director, Mai Lee Vang, having gone through dperession ourself, we want to use the power of video storytelling to create a short narrative film about how three different people experience depression and the ways they’ve used to tackle it. Our hope is that these stories will empower those who have and experience depression to tackle their own depression. Kang Vang from The DIAL group are producers of the project. - Empowering Hmong Girls Through a Storytelling Book video.

The topic ranges in all capacities of what a woman experiences.We meet every Thursday at 6pm in the Center Room of Unity Church. A meal is generously provided by the Racial Justice Group and Circle of Peace facilitators, Russel & Sara Balenger.

Lamton's mission is to promote Academic Achievement, Health and Wellness, and Student Development through weekly tutoring sessions at the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota. I was excited to support Lamton's mission when one of the founding members, Tenzin Choerap, asked me to lead ACT test strategies workshops to their high school juniors. There, I led nine consistent Sunday ACT workshops on testing strategies, skills, and content knowledge of the five tested subjects, and also squeezed in a two to three lessons on college preparation. In these lessons, I incorporated games, group and individual reflection activities, and created worksheets to accommodate different learning styles. I have also had the pleasure of building great relationships with the 10 juniors who attended the workshops. A few students continue to connect with me with questions about the ACT test and college information.

My first classroom began with Athletes Committed to Educating Students (ACES), an after school program focused on closing the achievement gap by providing positive role models for inner-city youths. With the 15 fourth graders at Jenny Lind Elementary School, I spent two hours each week leading workshops focused on three main subjects: 1. understanding their personal identity2. exploring different cultures3. and learning about raptors and its nature.In the workshops, I made sure to include welcoming circles before workshops began for students to get a chance to express their self to their peers. Here is a list of the tasks I had and demonstrated:• tracked attendance for data review• enforced classroom management with a three step break system and rewarding points• chaperoned field trips to the sports game and educational events• management skills, lessons, highs and lows, and next action steps• and managed volunteers to work with students on homework or lead activities.

Advanced Via Individual Determination (AVID) focuses on preparing all students for college through strategic planning and organizing. My role as an AVID tutor involved assisting teachers in implementing these strategies and leading tutorials at three different schools: Patrick Henry High School, Olson Middle School, and Cityview Community School. Tutorials occur twice a week in an AVID classroom and each student comes prepared with a completed Tutorial Request Form (TRF) ready to be presented. My role as the tutor is to facilitate by asking varying levels of questions and encourage students to do the same. During presentations, everyone is expected to take Cornell Style notes based the presenter's notes. This process repeats with each student presenter. I also help manage a positive group work environment by implementing team building activities. Besides tutorials, I also met with teachers and other tutors to discuss what went well and how tutorials can be better facilitated. Two to three times a year, I assist teachers in leading college campus visits and educational field trips. During freshmen recruitment in the Spring season, I helped designed a informational poster, attended freshmen orientation day and promoted the AVID program.
