"The YMCA has the power to shape the trajectory of young people’s lives. I have seen firsthand the impact safe spaces, caring mentors, and meaningful opportunities can have in supporting youth grow in confidence and leadership. Serving on the Community Board is one way I help ensure those opportunities continue to thrive."

“I joined the board for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To have the ability to influence the next generation. The YMCA was always a positive and safe outlet for me growing up. It is a privilege and an honor, to be able to help do the same for the community and generations after me.”
