Why I Serve
We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and for me, those giants were my mentors. Their guidance, support, and encouragement shaped me into the person I am today and instilled in me a deep desire to pay it forward. There’s a saying I hold dear: “To whom much is given, much is expected.” It’s a reminder that the blessings in our lives come with a responsibility to lift others up as we’ve been lifted. These are the principles that drive me to serve my community.
