From: Philadelphia, PA

Age: 17 

How did you first hear about YPP: I shadowed one of the YPP alumni, Cliff Freeman. 

When did you start working with YPP: Mid February

What’s your favorite part of YPP: I love interacting with the kids and seeing their competitive sides. That’s not something you always think about but it’s definitely there. 

How do you think working with YPP has influenced you: I think it has definitely made me more open minded. I feel like I understand a lot more what kids are going through and their struggles. And how to meet their needs. 

What do you like to do outside of YPP: I play football, do a little bit of boxing, hanging out. And I work at Olive Garden.
