Why did you choose to be a LSC Advisory Board member?
Our talent and time can be invested in many different ways. Investing my time with LSC is yet another amazing opportunity to let our community know that we care, we love, we serve, and that each person matters.
What do you love most about LSC?
LOVE. Love is the strongest force and feeling that one can feel. We all show, give, and receive love in different ways. Nothing speaks louder than words, actions, and service. Loving our community in different ways is what speaks to my heart the most which is why I love how versatile LSC can be through the different programs and events offered.
What do you love most about living in Stanislaus County?
The endless possibilities. We have the power to create, recreate, and design the way in which we live, serve, do community, and move forward.
In what ways do you participate in the community?
By showing up. I believe that by living day by day and walking in your gifts, we can be a gift everywhere we go. I see myself as a light and the hands of feet of Jesus. I can't limit myself to just one way but I do have the passion to see girls and women realize their full potential, walk in their God given authority, and make a statement with their lives. Therefore, I take pride in serving, writing, and speaking life to girls and women through She Became or any opportunity that is given.
