After working diligently Tinklyn achieved goals but also went beyond the expected plan. As a young individual, Tinklyn actively volunteered and gave back to the community. Motivated to make an impact, she expanded her Art class and raised over $600 in three months. This fundraising experience was paramount for her because it taught her how to be more accountable for the local community. This experience has equipped Tinklyn with leadership skills and vision by inspiring people and working with team members.
