My mission is simple: 

Remind every person that they have the power to make a difference starting with believing in themselves.

When I was in fourth grade, the pandemic shut down the world. For kids my age, those years are when we start discovering who we are, building friendships, and developing confidence. Instead, I was stuck at home, missing out on those crucial experiences.

When we returned to school, I realized something important — I wasn’t the only one who struggled to feel confident and capable again. That realization inspired me to create Confidence in Yourself, a platform dedicated to helping people of all ages recognize their value, embrace their strengths, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.

Through CIY, I’ve developed three programs that bring this mission to life:

AcceptDance – A joyful, inclusive dance program that partners with special needs students to celebrate movement.
LemonMade – An entrepreneurship fair that empowers children to turn creative ideas into real-world businesses.
Crowning Confidence – An all-abilities pageant that celebrates every individual’s unique beauty, talent, and courage.

I’ve shared my message with students, families, and even older adults — because confidence doesn’t have an age limit. My goal as a speaker is to help every audience walk away believing that they are capable, worthy, and enough — just as they are.

CIY is all about reminding people that confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you can build.
