Oakville, ON, CA

I am the founder of EmpoweredUth, EduConnect (EUEC), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting young immigrants in Canada. As a newcomer myself, having been in Canada for 3 years, I understand the unique challenges faced by young immigrants, which is why I’m passionate about creating a supportive community for them to thrive. In this role, I lead the organization’s strategic direction, program development, and day-to-day operations. My responsibilities include overseeing our educational programs, managing partnerships, and growing our team of dedicated volunteers. Some of my key accomplishments include- Establishing EUEC, which has impacted over 1200+ students through leadership training, tutoring, and community events- Organizing 150+ online and in-person courses and activities that promote personal growth and academic success- Leading a team that has collectively contributed over volunteer hours to ensure high-quality educational experiences for all participants- Raised over 3400+ CAD to the Roundabout Charity Organization. I am passionate about empowering young immigrants to thrive academically, socially, and personally, and I am proud of the positive impact we continue to make in our community.
