It’s important for young women to have leadership roles so other young girls have someone to look up to. In addition, it’s important for women to feel comfortable and confident while holding a leadership position — to do this, our voices need to be heard and respected.
I want other students to take away that you don’t always need to be the loudest, most outgoing person to be considered a leader. As long as you’re being your authentic self, people will recognize you for who YOU are.
My favorite athlete is Erin Matson, who coaches UNC field hockey.
I love figure skating.
