As a Parent, I want nothing more than to ensure that our Future, the Youth of Today, have all they need to be successful no matter the hurdles they may have to jump, the lifestyle they came from or the barriers holding them back. I want to see the youth not use their upbringing as a reason they cannot be successful. As a Board Member, I will do my best to collaborate closely with other Board Members to ensure the success of iCan Mentoring. Will help establish strategic partnerships with government agencies and community-based organizations to leverage resources and achieve common objectives. Facilitate coalition-building efforts to address challenges and promote collective action for change. I have been involved with youth sports since 2002, when my oldest son started playing.

I quickly realized that sports would become our family. I have seen kids from all backgrounds and the struggles many faced. It was placed in my heart to ensure those kids knew that no matter what they would always have people cheering them on and I would always be in their corner. Many soon become my “other” children and watching them achieve the world has been a huge blessing. I have been actively volunteering with our high school organizations since 2011. I am currently the Booster Club President for our High School Athletic Trainers. Prior to this, I was the Booster Club President for our High School Softball team and held several positions as needed with the High School Football Team. I have done several fundraisers at my employer which varied from donating Gatorades and waters to our local fire departments to assist in the summer, when needing to answer the calls for lake rescues, raising funds and a donation of clothes and other items needed for the Eastland fires in 2022 to name just a few.
