What are you most excited about at AYP?
The opportunity to help foster the development of life skills for kids through AYP's programs. I grew up in an active environment, where I was fortunate to learn first hand the valuable life lessons that can be developed from sport and activities. These are skills that continue to shape my identity and I look forward to nurturing the future skill development for kids in our community.
