Why did you join Key Club?
I joined Key Club because I was asked to join by the president at the time. I thought of Key Club as the fun club that was always going on trips, and I wanted to be a part of that.
Past Key Club International Leadership Experience:
During the 2022-2023 service year, I had the opportunity to serve as lieutenant governor of Jamaica’s Division 3. I also served as a member of the Truly International Taskforce.
Why did you decide to run for the international board?
I decided to run for two reasons:
I wanted to serve and impact not only my home, school and community but also the world.
I wanted more international representation (non-U.S. districts) on the board.
