While studying for my undergraduate degree, I also participated in the Malaysian Student Association and took on the role of 'Event Coordinator.' My goals in joining this student association are to build more connections with Malaysian students, develop innovative ideas to promote Malaysia's culture and make Malaysian students feel less homesick during their years of studying and working in the U.S.
The process of planning an event was challenging for me as it was my first time stepping out of my comfort zone to take on a role that I had never done before (being an event coordinator). With my board members' help, I hosted two major events successfully, and 50 participants attended both events.
Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is one of the major cultural events in Malaysia. It is a festival celebrated by Hindus. A trivia-themed event was held using Kahoot.

Hari Raya is another cultural event that Malaysians celebrate. I have incorporated the idea of a jeopardy event to make this event more interactive and interesting for people to learn about this festival.
