“I first got involved with Rotary when my daughter was starting high school. Supporting her as she helped relaunch the Interact Club at her school inspired me to take on a broader role, transitioning from our club’s Youth Services Chair to our district’s Youth Services Chair. Seeing young people gain confidence, develop leadership skills, and discover what’s possible has been one of the most rewarding parts of my Rotary journey. As a parent, one of the greatest gifts Rotary has given our family has been watching my daughter grow in confidence, leadership, and independence. Through Rotary’s youth programs, she’s built lifelong friendships, expanded her perspective, and developed skills that will benefit her for years to come. What keeps me passionate about Rotary is seeing the transformation in young people—not just my daughter, but students throughout our community. Watching them grow into confident, capable young leaders is incredibly rewarding, and knowing I’ve played a small part in that journey makes every hour worthwhile. When you inspire young people to serve others, you’re not just making an impact today—you’re creating a lifetime of compassion, leadership, and service that will continue to ripple through their families, workplaces, and communities for years to come.”
