"Special Olympics is important to me because I believe that all people bring unique gifts and talents to the world. I love that we provide opportunities for individuals with ID to discover themselves, build lasting relationships, impact the world around them and truly shine as their authentic self. My favorite quote is "Be the change you wish to see in the world." (Gandhi) I am passionate about living this out every day bringing joy to the world and empowering those around me to be their best selves."
