Hey there! I am Amogh Donthi, a Junior at Irvington High School. I am passionate about software development, film-making, and mostly anything tech-based. I spend my free time learning new concepts and languages, such as Spanish and Java. I also learn how to use new software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. Some fun facts about me are that I love to play video games, give speeches to large groups of people, and also learn new things.

I found Design Your Careers over a year ago, because I had an insatiable desire to help students across the world as well as in my own community. Over the last year, I have taught 100+ students in the three workshops I conducted on Introduction to Adobe Premiere Pro, Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro, and Introduction to Java. I was also able to participate at the Across Borders event, in which we were able to bring together various groups of people at one venue for a great performance. I got an amazing response for my first workshop and that helped me grow and stay with DYC. Through these workshops, I learned a lot about teaching students and how to help cater to their needs. In addition to the workshops, I was able to delegate administrative tasks under DYC, in which I was able to set up a local chapter at my own school, where we were able to teach middle-school to high-school students new concepts they had never even encountered. I was also able to learn how organizations work and manage my own team, which provided me with invaluable experiences.

I have enjoyed my journey with DYC because I am able to connect with students on a fundamental level but also teach them skills that they will use in their futures. I was able to effectively use my skills to help enrich the lives of others as well as expand my perspective and better my own skills. I appreciate that Design your Careers has created an opportunity for students like me to help their communities thrive.
