MY SERVICE

I joined scouting at the age of six as a Tiger Cub Scout at Pack 570 in Newtown CT. By the time I was 11 years old I had earned the Webelos II rank and the Arrow of Light award.

I then graduated to Boy Scouts and over the next seven years earned the ranks of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life. In 2020, before my 18th birthday, I completed all requirements for the Eagle Scout rank at Troop 70 in Newtown CT.

I joined the Youth Volunteer Corp in 2016 asa volunteer at the Pratt Conservation Center. The Western Connecticut United Way Youth Volunteer Corp is dedicated to organizing youth volunteer project to helping my local community. I am very proud to have served many conservation hours with the Western Connecticut YVC.

I served as a peer mentor with the Best Buddies Chapter of Newtown High School. Best Buddies fosters one-on-one, peer-to-peer, friendships with IDD students. Serving as a peer montor was a very gratifying and humbling experience. I met many awesome friends through the Best Buddies Club of Newtown High School.

I attended NYLT as a youth trainee in 2016 at Deer Lake in Connecticut. After completeling the training I was invited by the organizers to return as a staff member. I returned to Deer Lake as a youth staff member over the next three years. NYLT teaches invaluable leadership skills to the young men and women that will be our country's future leaders.
