For downtown to continue to thrive and the community to continue to be a welcoming place, it takes people to stand up and show up. I feel grateful because I’ve had a lot of mentors who have given me the opportunity (to get involved).
I guess when I’m passionate about something and I believe in something, I don’t really think twice and I fight for what I believe in.
Should more young people take on leadership roles?
Absolutely. It's always the right time to get involved. It’s always the right time to take on different responsibilities. We’re already seeing that.
