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.
