“Being an Oregon Ambassador for the Global Prosperity and Peace Initiative has given me the opportunity to connect with and surround myself with people whose approach to life is at a much higher, more grace-filled and positive level than average. It’s given ​me​ the opportunity to get more involved in causes that matter to me. And, because I am surrounded by these amazing individuals within my own community, it’s given me the courage to stretch my own wings, do things I haven’t done before, and raise my voice for the sake of people and causes that need change. As a Regional Director, I’m able to support and touch lives I would never have had contact with before. It makes the worlds’ issues feel more real, more personal, and closer to home. Being a part of GPPI makes the world a smaller place, makes my family feel bigger, and inspires me to be more involved in creating a world that can work for all.”
