Led a plant therapy initiative for elderly residents experiencing depression and early-stage dementia. Designed and conducted weekly gardening and sensory activities to promote cognitive function, emotional stability, and intergenerational connection. Combined scientific research on Mycobacterium vaccae—a soil bacterium linked to serotonin release—with social engagement to promote emotional healing through nature-based therapy. Participants showed improved alertness, reduced anxiety, and increased social participation. To sustain the program, organized a student-led fundraiser that sold harvested plants, generating $300 donated back to support resident welfare and project continuity.
