“As a Backr, I love the opportunity to support and mentor my three proteges as they grow and develop. I feel grateful to be able to guide and shape their future in a positive way. Through Backrs, I have been able to watch them grow into confident and capable individuals, and it has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment that I can't put into words. It's made a tremendous difference in my life to see them achieve their goals and know that I played a role in helping them get there.”

Working with my proteges to make progress toward their near and long-term goals has been an incredibly rewarding and fun experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to give back to others!”

I also love providing context to any struggles my proteges are going through by sharing how I’ve dealt with similar issues in the past.”

“I enjoy backing because I care about youth and helping them nature their gifts and talents. Being a young adult is hard enough especially without guidance. I desire to be a safe place for youth to blossom! I've been encouraged by my protégés ambition to set and go after their goals! I'm inspired by them!”
