Leadership Academies Program Coordinator, Neighborhood Initiative

In my community, you'll often spot me relaxing on a park bench, lost in the pages of my newest book, or perhaps you'll catch me at the boxing gym, releasing my pent-up energy. And when I'm not immersed in those pursuits, you can bet I'll be off on a hike or enjoying the tranquility of a coastal camping adventure.

I am stepping up to lead because I genuinely want to be a guiding light for the next generation. I aim to be that reliable sanctuary for those who may not have one and to consistently support them. Creating an environment like this is truly pivotal for any young person's growth, so the ability to craft a mental haven where they truly feel acknowledged and listened to is nothing short of extraordinary, and to be a part of a team that is aware of that fact is incredible.
