I have always been very passionate about being an involved community member. I have many years of experience in councils and committees. Currently, I am the president of the Drayton Valley Youth Advisory Committee (we are an extension of the town council.) Our group is the bridge that connects the DV Town Council to the youth of our community, to advocate for what our youth need. I have been proud to have been the president of the DVYAC for the last two years, and it inspired me to take a step outside of my comfort zone and join the NLCSA. I have been enjoying every minute of it and am glad I took the step!

This year in school, my motto has become “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming!” It has been a very heavy last semester, but I am glad to be nearing my registration as a social worker. Come spring of 2025, I can start gathering working hours in the field to become registered. I will be taking a step back from school in 2025 as well, as I have some rodeo dreams that I will be chasing for a year. In 2026, I will return to school to work for my Bachelor's degree, and eventually my Master's!
