Richmond, BC July 2026

Leadership & Service

Organisations founded or co-founded across two countries, plus the clubs, libraries and shelters in between. Most of them exist because of a gap noticed first-hand — not knowing how to get involved, not having science for two years, not having anyone else nearby who cared about the same thing.

Founded & Co-Founded

Founder · Grade 8 SciQuest With the Richmond Public Library

Hosts workshops in partnership with the Richmond Public Library to introduce elementary students to the sciences before high school, helping them explore interests and develop a personal identity around them.

It exists because of a gap I hit myself — something my peers and I struggled with when making the transition to high school, especially for those of us who had not been taught science for over two years in elementary school.

Co-Founder BASIC Youth BC British Columbia Youth Astro Initiative Society

A provincial non-profit society that aims to foster a community for aspiring astronomers in BC to connect and grow.

It provides opportunities for youth in British Columbia interested in astronomy and space science — workshops, community discussions, fundraising for educational events, and partnerships with schools, libraries and other organisations. The society has now held its first community table.

Co-Founder Study Stars Abroad National non-profit · Canada & Asia

A national non-profit facilitating cross-cultural exchanges between Canada and Asian countries, such as Taiwan.

It gives students opportunities to practise English in a supportive setting, reduces academic pressure, and lets them compete nationally in English-based debates and academic competitions.

Founder & Co-President Palmer Helping Hands Club RC Palmer Secondary

A club that encourages junior (Grade 8–10) and senior students to engage in school events and volunteer opportunities, with a specific focus on helping junior students get involved comfortably.

The reason is concrete: in Grade 8, many of my classmates did not volunteer — not because they did not want to, but because they did not know how to get involved.

The club has contributed to nearly all Palmer events: Spotlight, Parent Teacher Conference, Open House, Orange Shirt Day and assemblies, as well as supporting the Music and Athletics departments and collaborating with other clubs.
