There is truth to the idea that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn.
As I say goodbye to the @bpaconnect family, I wish to thank each of you for coming into my life, and for trusting me to serve as your President.

To the team -- Angel, Allyssa, Alexa, Nira, Natasha, Tyler, and Timothy -- thank you for becoming some of my closest friends. I wouldn't be the same without you. Angel's reassurance, Allyssa's guidance, Alexa's heart, Nira's judgment, Natasha's laughter, Tyler's ambition, and Timothy's diligence made this team what it was.

To @riamohan2 , @lane.lamping , and @summerall.aaron -- thank you for being both peers and mentors. Watching each of you lead your respective CTSOs taught me so much, and I was incredibly fortunate to be able to lean on your guidance throughout this year.

To my day ones, @braelyn_may11, @dayali.xvii and @rome.hunt -- thank you for everything from our first officer term to the late-night Walmart runs.

To @idahobpa, thank you for setting the standard for what social media in BPA can be. And to @illinoisbpa , thank you for building a state association with incredibly committed student members.

To @arpan__grewal, @mileswarren007, @masonerbini , and @ethan_meredith08 -- I'm grateful our paths crossed at conferences over the years. Thank you for being incredible state officers, and for your friendship. A special thank you to @flicks_by_dev for stellar photos at NLC.

And finally, to every BPA member: I hope you stay with this organization. I hope it challenges you, gives you opportunities, and introduces you to lifelong friends.

Life works in mysterious ways, and sometimes it brings the most incredible people into our lives just when we need them. I have been truly blessed to cross paths with remarkable individuals who have shaped my journey, and today I want to take a moment to thank one person who has made an immeasurable impact on my life: Leslie, my NM State Executive Council Coordinator.

Leslie, words will never be enough to express how truly grateful I am for you. You have been more than just a mentor; you have been a guiding light, a constant source of wisdom, and someone who believed in me when I didn’t fully believe in myself. Your unwavering support and passion for BPA have left a profound mark on me, and I am forever grateful that our paths crossed.

You passed on your love and dedication for BPA, and in doing so, you helped me discover my own passion for servant leadership. I’ve learned from you that true leaders serve from the heart, and because of you, I now carry that philosophy with me wherever I go.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without your guidance, encouragement, and belief in my potential. You have truly blessed my life, and I will always carry the lessons you’ve taught me as I continue to grow and lead.

Thank you, Leslie, from the bottom of my heart. You are truly one of a kind, and I will forever be grateful for the impact you’ve made on my life. ❤️

Spent a few days working at the #TASCO Fall Convention! From managing social media to taking photos to creating graphics and slide decks to presenting to coaches and more, it was a blast! Such an amazing event that is put on by coaches to help build other coaches and #txhssoccer in Texas! #TXHSSoc #TASCO24 #TASCOConvention24 @tascosoccer
