“Being selected as a Future Leader of Alberta in a northern rural community is both an honor and a profound responsibility. To me, it signifies a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those in my community and beyond. In these remote regions, where resources and opportunities can be limited, leadership takes on a unique significance. It means being a beacon of hope, innovation, and progress.”
