VOICE

As one of seven grant committee members, I identified and contacted more than 30 potential donors, contributing to our team's fundraising total of US$120,000. I also led Dress Loud Day across more than 30 schools, reaching approximately 12,000 students, and presented EchoSense to families in the hearing-loss community.
