Steve Soule helped shape me into the woman that I am today. Growing up in a family of seven with very little money was not easy, but Steve made me believe that I could make something of myself as early as the age of 8.

He encouraged me to go the extra mile and not to stop there. I knew that if he believed me in, then I should believe in myself as well.

Now, at the age of 24, I am a year out of my master’s program, working for a company that I love.

If there is one thing that Steve taught me, it was that you have to go after what you want and work hard until you get it. I know that Steve has the creativity and the drive to change Waterville for the better and he won’t stop there. Believe in Steve.
