Leadership isn't something I stumbled upon—it’s something I grew into. It all began with small steps: volunteering at local events, organizing school activities, and supporting causes I believed in. Over time, these small experiences shaped my passion for community involvement.

As I progressed through high school, I took on more responsibilities, including becoming a Student Senator and co-founding the first-ever TEDx GWSS event. One of the most rewarding milestones in my journey has been leading as President of the Youth Council for MPP Stephen Crawford. In this role, I’ve had the privilege of working with local youth, amplifying their voices, and developing initiatives that bring positive change to our community.

Every step of this journey has been about more than just titles—it’s about the relationships I’ve built and the impact I hope to leave. My goal is to continue developing as a leader and remain committed to making a difference through advocacy and community engagement.
