Meet Liyah Ernest

2022 Excite Ambassador | Ben Franklin High School

All Star Since 2017

 

In her own words

"I met two of my closest friends at Excite. I loved going to camp as a kid. But being apart of Excite as an employee has given me perspective that being a camper never did. I understand why Coach Gerald and Mrs. Penny do what they do. Because that smile when Aubrey Bennet hits the tennis ball over the net for the first time lights up a room. Or the feeling I get when the campers call me Coach Liyah is a feeling I’ve never felt before."

"In 2017 I had a lead role in LG’s play. I LOVED every bit of that experience. Growing up, I was always pretty shy when it came to performing or speaking in front of a large crowd. That summer I got over that fear."
