"As a student athlete and aspiring entrepreneur, I realize the world is rapidly changing-- demanding a balance in business, life & sustainability--- young people need relevant pathways & support to leverage these opportunities."

WELCOME. Since elementary school I've served as an ambassador for the AddyPres Organization-- helping activate initiatives related to education and sustainability. I've met community and business leaders, trialed curriculum, worked with little kids and offered feedback on committees. I've also had a significant role in providing lived experience and survey feedback for the AP Future Careers smart tech tool (learn more below).

This page provides some helpful information from past and present initiatives that I've helped the organization activate--- with a focus on sustainability in food and fashion--- hope you find some helpful ways to take part in solutions we all need to value... learn, share & activate what is cool to you.

IDEA: gather some impactful volunteer hours activating tools on this page by working with your school or friends. If you need to: contact@addypres.org

Today, I'm an AP Ambassador focused on sharing the opportunities the AP Future Careers initiative can offer young people like myself. As a student athlete and creative, I'm aware of the juggle it takes to manage life, family, school, community service, immediate opportunities and college & career aspirations in today's busy world... it's a lot.

If you are a student athlete, talented, creative or neurodiverse person-- you'll really appreciate the work of this initiative and the tool it can make available, with funding. I urge you to make a donation.

The AP Future Careers Initiative is promoting a revolutionary approach to education & career development, with the mission to support DISCOVERING, UNLOCKING & CHASING passions while SECURING futures. Imagine being able to harness your immediate opportunities, while you continue to grow new skills for whatever comes next, securing your long term prosperity along the way...
