As National Youth of the Year, I aim to amplify the voices of military youth, drawing from my personal experiences of parental deployment. I will address issues like teen neglect and mental health challenges, empowering our community and fostering personal growth. My leadership in Keystone has equipped me with problem-solving skills and a sense of responsibility, preparing me for this role. With dedication, I will advocate for the needs of military youth, inspiring others to reach their fullest potential. As a representative, I am committed to serving with integrity, making a meaningful impact, and being a voice for those who feel unheard.
