What kind of difference do you hope to make while being a part of BGCA’s National Youth Advisory Council?
I want to serve as a voice for Club youth. I plan to use my role to advocate for mental health initiatives and continue making the Club a place for everyone.
What do you think Club and BGCA staff could do to better understand the needs and experiences of teens today?
Exactly what they’re doing right now: incorporate youth voice and amplify the unheard individuals of communities that hold stories so impactful that are slowly disappearing.
What do you see as your biggest strength?
My biggest strength is my drive to help others. I have a reflective personality; in other words, I match the energy I see. If I feel I need to be professional, goofy or anything in between, that is the energy I will portray.
