Victoria Cua

Victoria is an avid supporter of music therapy and will use her education to research and develop various ways to serve the community.  With the passion to share music, she has been taking part in voluntary work for autistic children and play piano in senior homes.

Culture continues to change rapidly with the advancements in technology; music will always connect people from different cultures and bring people together. This can increase respect, empathy, and social connection for each other. With the power of music as an international language, Victoria would like to set up a music sharing group locally in Los Angeles to encourage each other to live a positive life.

Victoria chooses to advocate for AbilityFirst. AbilityFirst, with a long history of supporting local communities, provides a variety of programs designed to help people with disabilities achieve their personal best throughout their lives.  They empower individuals with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome and other intellectual/developmental disabilities to discover what is important to them in their lives and to develop the skills that are important for them to achieve their goals.  With mutual trust, participants are encouraged to look beyond disabilities, focus on capabilities and expand possibilities.

AbilityFirst’s supported employment programs provide adults with disabilities the level of support they need to find and retain meaningful employment in competitive job markets.  For the course of next year, Victoria will continue to volunteer and help to fundraise for the organization to support the employment services.
