The PAVE Conference, was an inspiring and transformative event that empowers students to dream big and take meaningful steps toward achieving their personal and professional aspirations. Shama felt honoured to have been part of this event and to have had important conversations about the value of volunteering and how investing in one's own personal and professional development— strengthening skills and broadening perspectives—it goes beyond the individual by creating a lasting impact on the community. It was truly rewarding to engage with so many students, providing invaluable resources and opportunities such as mentorship and sponsorship.
