It is with immense pride and gratitude that I reflect on our past year. Our 2023-2024 academic year was marked by significant growth, innovation, and collaboration.

When there is a shift in leadership or a start to a new year, there are connotations and declarations of “New Beginnings.” New beginnings are lovely. They are filled with hopes, dreams, and renewed energy. Concerning my personal and professional life, I am not looking at the start of this school year as a "New Beginning."

We are now accepting applications for the 2024-2025 chapter board.

Leadership is often tested in calm waters, but it's truly forged in the wave of trials. When storms of challenge and uncertainty roll in, it's a leader's unwavering resolve and strategic navigation that guides teams through choppy waters to calmer shores. As much as I’d love to paint the picture of our teams calmly floating into the sunset every time - leadership is not always smooth sailing. Inevitably, storms will brew, waves will crash, and the once clear skies will turn ominous. It's in these moments, our true leadership skills are tested.

As our board and team knows by now, I love sand volleyball. I love it in a “if I had started playing as a kid, I would probably have tried to play professionally” kind of way. But for whatever reason, my middle school self got into creative writing instead.
