 I have been a proud member of the Jaycees for four years—soon to be five this February. For the past three years, I’ve served as Treasurer of my local chapter, and I look forward to the opportunity to run for Chapter President in the future.  

My journey with the Jaycees began with a deep passion for giving back to my community. I want to show young children that no matter their starting point, they can create a brighter future and make a lasting difference.  

Originally from the heart of Chicago, I later moved to the suburbs—though I spent most of my time back in the city (why we moved, only my mom knows!). In 2016, I relocated to Iowa after getting married.  

I love to laugh, have fun, and explore the world around me. Being part of the Jaycees has allowed me to combine my love for community, leadership, and adventure, and I’m excited to continue making a positive impact.
