Promoting STEM Education Through MyRiiver
Anna serves as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of MyRiiver, a nonprofit organisation focused on educational initiatives. In this role, she has helped organise and run three STEM camps and workshops.
Through these programmes, Anna and her team have taught more than 130 children. The activities introduce young learners to STEM subjects and encourage them to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Her involvement reflects her interest in making educational opportunities more accessible. Furthermore, helping organise these programmes has allowed her to contribute to initiatives that inspire younger students to learn and explore new subjects.
Developing Communication Skills Through Speech and Debate
Alongside her work in education, Anna has built a strong background in speech and debate. With more than five years of experience, she has participated in competitions at both national and university levels.
These experiences have given her opportunities to develop public speaking, critical thinking, and argumentation skills. In addition, competing in different settings has allowed her to engage with challenging topics and communicate her ideas effectively.
Her continued involvement in speech and debate reflects her dedication to developing as a confident and thoughtful communicator.
Combining Leadership, Education, and Communication
Anna’s experiences bring together three important areas: nonprofit leadership, STEM education, and competitive communication. Through MyRiiver, she helps create learning opportunities for children. Meanwhile, her speech and debate experience allows her to strengthen skills that support effective communication and collaboration.
Together, these activities demonstrate her commitment to education and community involvement. They also highlight how leadership and communication can help create meaningful opportunities for others.
