At just 10 years old, Amelia is already showing what it means to be a leader. A dedicated student, she works hard in school and brings that same energy to her role as Youth Ambassador for The Light Ahead Movement.

Amelia loves learning and exploring new activities. Whether she’s on the golf course, horseback riding, or traveling with her family, she approaches everything with curiosity and joy. While Disneyland is her favorite place to visit for fun, her favorite city is New York — a place that inspires her big dreams for the future.

Her story is also shaped by her family’s legacy. Her father is a survivor of the Cambodian Genocide, also known as the Killing Fields, and her mother was born in Korea and adopted by an American family. From both sides of her family, Amelia has inherited resilience, strength, and a deep appreciation for opportunity.

As a Youth Ambassador, Amelia reminds us that leadership doesn’t wait for adulthood. She shows her peers the power of kindness, hard work, and service to the community.

✨ “I want to help people believe in themselves and know they can always move forward.” – Amelia
