She is a proud to serve a second term as a Youth Advisory Board Member for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.  She was motivated to join the Youth Advisory Board so she could have a platform to teach youth how to be healthy in fun and creative ways.  She believes it’s important for youth to have a voice in the fight against childhood obesity because youth influence each other.
