2024 – 2025 Youth Commissioners
It’s a privilege to collaborate with some of the most brilliant young minds in our community to address youth-related issues and make a positive impact on those in need. At Gonzaga Prep, I serve as the captain of the debate team, a member of the food drive committee, and as a cross-country runner. I am also involved in service & justice programs such as the Margins Immersion and the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice. I am excited to serve my second term as Chair of the CYC where we strive to make our community a better place, especially for youth.
As a young leader within our community, I believe that accurate and empathetic representation from our youth is key to building our future. Throughout the past few years, my involvement in various activities such as debate, creative writing and leadership on a school and citywide level have shaped my perspective, and I hope to continue learning and growing on the Commission.
As a first year Commissioner, I am looking forward to working with this passionate group of leaders as we advocate for youth issues in our community. I’m a senior at Gonzaga Prep and the current ASB Vice President. I’m also on the Varsity football and golf teams. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.
I have a passion for leadership and community engagement. To foster this passion, I participated as a student leader in the 2024 Compassion Scholars cohort through the Washington State Leadership Board. I have been involved in my community further as an intern at Spokane’s Manzanita House and as ASB president for the 2023-2024 school year. I am so excited to get the opportunity to serve on the Chase Youth Commission and advocate for my community!
To see youth get the opportunity to be actively involved in their communities is exactly what our future needs. I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to help foster youth voices in and around my community. Being a part of the type of change the Commission is capable of is truly one of a kind. I am my school’s FBLA chapter vice president, class of 2026 president, and Legislative Youth Advisory Council second year member. I am also on the soccer and track team and get involved in any way I can within the student body.
Being able to make a change within the Spokane area, a community so near and dear to my heart, is such an exciting privilege. At North Central, I’ve dedicated my time to being a cheer captain, staying active within our leadership community and civic engagement. I can’t wait to see what the CYC has to teach me and the opportunities given to help our youth.
I am so excited to serve as a Commissioner. Advocating for prevalent youth issues in my community is an honor and something I am incredibly passionate about. At Mead I serve as NHS Treasurer, Class Senator, Link Crew Leader and Mead Serves member. I also participate in cross country and tennis. I’m looking forward to the great year ahead and being part of this special organization!
I am a team captain for Medical Lake HS cross country team and am excited to be part of this wonderful group of teens who are dedicated to helping Spokane County youth.
As a first year Commissioner I am very excited to be more active within my community, bring new ideas and explore new opportunities to help youth throughout our city. My involvement in sports and especially clubs like DECA, key club and NHS have kept me busy and given me perspective on how I can help improve my community. I can’t wait to get to know my peers and get to work helping those around me!
I am a creative artist, change-maker, two time TEDx speaker, a cultural dancer, a henna artist, and Miss Teen IndiaSpokane/WA1RU from Spokane. I create art to inspire youth to embrace diversity, inclusion and their culture simultaneously. As a young activist I encourage empathy above all. I truly believe Mahathma Gandhi’s quote “be the change you want to see in the world” and strive to do just that. I hope you will all join me to make this change happen.
