> “In high school, I struggled with the pressure to ‘fit in’ and avoid bullying but at the cost of losing who I really was in the process. Surrounding myself with other band kids taught me how to form genuine friendships, be part of a community and ultimately take pride in who I am. As a mentor, I want to help you work towards your goals while always embracing your authentic self.”
