I am passionate about helping people. I recognize that everyone has a story as well as struggles/challenges that are often invisible to the people around them, which is why I have a strong desire to give people opportunities to be seen and heard, and to know that they belong. This is why I love my role at Youth Unlimited (YFC)! I get to help create safe spaces for teens to find community, acceptance, and belonging, without any barriers. I also get to lead a team of staff and volunteers, supporting, encouraging, and helping them grow. My formal education and work experience, though in different fields, have provided me with many skills and tools that are incredibly valuable in my current role including public speaking, team leadership, self-motivation, organization, planning, and more. I still have a passion for the environment and am interested in finding ways to bring that passion into what I do at Youth Unlimited.
