I have always had a passion for advocacy and being the voice for others. In 2018 I was chosen to join 15 children from across Canada at Kids For A Cure Lobby Day on Parliament Hill. During my stay I met with parliamentarians to discuss the needs and concerns of the youth in our county living with a chronic illness. I have also been a local and national ambassador for the JDRF Foundation. Through my work with this foundation, I was able to advocate the youth in the Windsor Essex area living with Type 1 Diabetes. This position entailed speaking engagements, fundraising and event planning. Through these experiences I have learned to be a strong voice and to stand for what I believe in.
