Favorite Quote:

“There are millions of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them, you never have to meet. But there are one or two you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right.”

What motivated you to join IAAB’s Camp Ayandeh staff: I was a camper at Camp Ayandeh for the past two years and I absolutely fell in love with the experiences I had. I learned so much about myself and gained so many valuable friendships. Becoming part of the staff is my way of giving back to IAAB and helping other campers have the same amazing experience I had.
