What motivated you to join the programme?
I was initially drawn to the SITizen Ambassador Program by the opportunity to connect with fellow student leaders who share a passion for community welfare and a desire for progressive change. In a society where transformation is inevitable, I believe it's crucial to contribute actively towards enhancing the collective quality of life.
Further inspiration came after interacting with seasoned SITizen ambassadors who highlighted the program's comprehensive training offerings. These sessions are designed to not only represent our institution effectively but also to empower us with the skills necessary to positively impact our community. This dual focus on personal growth and community service solidified my decision to join, eager to both learn from and contribute to this dynamic group.
What was your most memorable moment as a SITizen Ambassador?
Among the numerous highlights of my time as a SITizen Ambassador, from networking with community changemakers to forming lifelong friendships, one particular moment stands out. It was during a leadership program where I applied the skills I learned as a SITizen Ambassador to serve as a Vanguard. Tasked with debriefing a group of students after an activity, I utilized our training on how to effectively reflect on experiences and connect them to their future leadership paths. This moment not only showcased the transferability of the skills acquired through the program but also affirmed their enduring value in my life, enhancing my confidence as a speaker and a leader.
What does being a SITizen Ambassador mean to you even beyond your time in SIT as a student?
Being a SITizen Ambassador means carrying a badge of honor beyond my student years into my professional life as an alum. It represents a commitment to embodying the SITizen DNA: being a Thinking Tinkerer, capable of adapting through learning, unlearning, and relearning; acting as a Catalyst for Transformation in every endeavor; and staying Grounded in the Community, ensuring that my actions contribute positively to society.
This role has equipped me with invaluable skills and a mindset that prepares me for challenges and opportunities in the career world. Each step forward in my career is guided by these principles, driving me to innovate, adapt, and lead with integrity. The title of SITizen Ambassador is not just a reflection of my past but a guiding light for my future, inspiring continuous growth and a lifelong commitment to positive change and community engagement.
