About Me: I've been involved in Friendship Circle since I started

love recruiting teens to get involved in FC so they can have the same experience I've had. I'm

About Me: I’ve been a part of Friendship Circle for 4 yrs. and am so
excited to be a member of the RTS Team! FC has taught me so much
and I can’t wait to share my experiences with others. I’ve had several buddies and created a
unique friendship with each of them. I enjoy the one-on-one time as well as the group
activities with other friends and their volunteers. It's truly amazing to see the bonds created
between each pair. I love to share experiences & ideas, so feel free to get in touch with me!
