My interests include shopping, laughing, ice skating, fashion, and volunteering. My goals for the Y.P.D. as Financial Secretary are to keep accurate records of receipts and disbursements. Also to work closely with the 1st District Y.P.D. Director to assist with any financial matters as deems necessary.
