I also contribute to fundraising and organizational development activities to build capacity and ensure DSAT's sustainability. I am committed to fostering connections and ensuring that individuals with disabilities are heard and valued.I am currently pursuing my Master's in Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership through Carleton University, aiming to deepen my impact in the nonprofit sector.
