Empowering girls, helping them become confident, fearless, and strong women with a voice and vision to make an impact in their communities, showing them that there are truly no limits to what they can achieve or who they want to be in life... This is a mission and purpose that Circle Program and I share. I look forward to joining Circle Program, the community, and beginning this next chapter with all of you!”
