Examples of my volunteer services and the achievements I have gained is:

• Assisting special events and programs such as organizing stalls representing UNICEF in our school christmas market. Through this I learned to collaborate and deliver precise communications with my school organizer as well as the UNICEF representatives, I was also able to gain knowledge on advertising techniques and lastly I was able to develop skills to act and solve unexpected challenges faced in immediate moments.
• Through engaging in the promotion and celebration of the International Day of Peace I participated in group activities with students to build teamwork and foster healthy relationships but at the same time I also learned to activate and drive my creativity over arrangements and planning of various activities through the course of one month.
• As the last reference to my volunteer course, I worked with Azalea della Ricerca of the AIRC Foundation (Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro) who support researchers committed to finding increasingly early diagnoses and more effective therapies for cancers that affect women. In this experience I organized a flower selling event in promotion and celebration of Mother's Day and donating the money to the organization. The learning objectives I've gained is presenting and offering excellent customer service to donors and sponsors to enhance relationships and increase funding as well as recognizing ethics of choices and actions in a global context of women cancer.

Through being a Philosophy and Languages ambassador at my school I:

• Studied and implemented latest information on specific subjects and learning strategies.
• Promoted recent learnings through school displays and bullet boards.
• Engaged with other students to boost understanding and develop higher engagement and thought processes.

I volunteered both in school and out of school as a English-focused tutor and teacher to younger kids to help boost their knowledge and understanding of the subject in sectors such as writing, listening, reading, speaking and grammar in their specific levels and programs, doing so I:

• Collaborated with students to complete homework assignments, identify lagging skills, and correct weaknesses.
• Worked closely with students on specific class struggles, closely reviewing materials and assignments to offer targeted help.
• Monitored student progress while motivating students with accurate feedback and methods while promoting positive reinforcement.
