“Aspen’s dedication to golf for the past four years is truly commendable. Her persistence and continuous improvement in the sport are a testament to her work ethic and passion for excellence. Aspen’s commitment to golf has not only enriched her life but has also been an inspiration to her peers.

She has played a pivotal role in organizing events, facilitating communication, and fostering a sense of community within the FCCLA. Her approach to leadership is characterized by inclusivity and a genuine concern for the well-being of all members.
