"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!
