What are your hobbies outside of Key Club?
I love photography, late night drives and cafe hopping. I am always looking for a new place to get matcha lattes!
Why did you join Key Club?
Because of my vast experiences within the Kiwanis family. I was a K-Kids member, serving as vice president of my chapter in fifth grade. When I got into high school and saw a Key Club at my school, I joined immediately, falling in love with the inclusive and welcoming community.
What do you like most about Key Club International?
How united we are through our differences. Our members come from all over the world, but we have one mission, one passion, one heartbeat: the love we have for service and making an impact.
What is your favorite Key Club memory?
My first-ever Regional Training Conference in 2022. In Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., I saw firsthand how big the Key Club community is. I was able to have fun by showing my spirit, engaging in interactive and educational workshops, and ending the night in a mosh pit!
Past Key Club International leadership experience.
I previously served in the district, division, and club levels of Key Club. My sophomore year, I served as executive assistant to my division and class representative for my club. This past term, I served as Division 28 South lieutenant governor and a member of my district’s Kiwanis Family and Foundation Committee.
Why did you run for the international board?
I saw a huge disconnect between the members I served and the higher levels of Key Club. I believe that every Key Club member deserves to feel connected to our organization’s decision-makers. By serving on the international board, I aim to bridge that gap, amplify members’ voices and ensure that our leadership reflects and responds to the realities of those we serve.
