— Appears in: Voiceworks , Spring no. 101 2015; (p. 8-9)
'I joined Voiceworks’ EdComm in 2009, when I was seventeen and still required to wear a high-school uniform.

I had no idea what I was doing there. In the first meeting, I learned that I was a part of the largest group of new committee members Voiceworks had ever accepted in one round. Okay, that made a little more sense — they were feeling extra generous and, amid all those applications, mine had landed in the right pile.'
