What made you want to become a Parent Ambassador?

Encouragement to spend more time outside. The belief that people can make a difference if they share their voice.

Learn skills to better advocate. Bring concerns I see in the community to discuss.

Who or what inspires you?

My children, my friend Liz, people in general.

Anything else you’d like to share?
