"DAC has provided me with numerous opportunities to overcome my
introverted nature and become more confident in public speaking and stepping
out of my comfort zone. It has also trained me with a strong theoretical
foundation coupled with practical applications for me to excel in both the
client project and internship. Other from the academic side of school, I was
also involved in an overseas community service trip to Surabaya, Indonesia
where I taught English to the local children while helping to renovate their
classrooms. This experience reinforced my passion for community service and
spurred me to lead the SP Roteract Club as President. There's never a dull moment here!”
