Serena has exemplified the Georgia Tech motto of Progress and Service throughout her leadership roles, consistently working to create lasting impact and support the growth of others. As president of Consult Your Community (CYC), she spearheaded efforts to institutionalize the club’s impact by implementing data tracking infrastructure to measure the success of their pro bono projects. Serena mobilized more than 70 members for community events, reinforcing that service isn’t just about strategic recommendations but also about direct engagement with those in need. By expanding the club’s initiatives and integrating structured mentorship programs, she ensured that CYC’s progress would extend beyond her time, leaving systems in place to empower future leaders. 

One of Serena’s most memorable leadership moments was founding and leading Georgia Tech’s first Chinese Traditional Dance Team. Recognizing a gap in cultural representation, she created a space for students to connect with their heritage and share it with the campus community. Under her leadership, the team grew from an idea into a thriving group, performing at major events like the Vietnamese Student Association’s Spring Gala. Serena’s efforts have not only highlighted the diversity within Chinese culture but also provided students with the opportunity to build confidence and connect with others. The team's success has cemented its place at Georgia Tech as a cultural bridge and platform for storytelling. 

Through her work as a tutor at the Tutoring and Academic Support Center and as a Scheller Mentor, Serena has continuously served her peers by providing academic support and helping them build confidence in their studies. Whether mentoring first-year business students or redesigning CYC’s training program, Serena’s focus has always been on creating sustainable systems that equip others with the tools they need to succeed. Her leadership leaves a legacy of mentorship, community engagement, and cultural representation, ensuring that Georgia Tech students will continue to benefit from her work long after her graduation.
