Heidi Williams

I have worn many hats throughout my professional career. I've been in management, the restaurant industry, and retail. However, I have found that my passion lies in helping people. In Buffalo, NY I worked at a resettlement organization for refugees where my duties included helping newly resettled refugees integrate into their new home.

I am married with a wonderful son. I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, especially when we have family movie night! I am pretty adventurous, and I like to try new things and new foods. The wildest thing I have eaten is alligator! It tastes way better than chicken, but I have since become a pescatarian. I'm a plant enthusiast and I have over 50 houseplants!

I truly believe in the power of our youth to be world changers, as they are the future, but I also believe that the youth need positive and empowering role models to help guide them to become the best versions of themselves. With my role, I am able to do that by showing our youth that there are healthy outlets and encouraging them get involved in their community while making good decisions on their own. I am looking forward to meeting and working with more youth in Jefferson County. One of my favorite quotes is "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt.
