Paige Trombley is a proud Special Olympics athlete, gymnast, paraprofessional, and passionate advocate for inclusion. One of her greatest accomplishments has been representing Team Minnesota at Nationals, where she earned two gold and three silver medals in gymnastics. But beyond the medals, her journey has taught her resilience, determination, confidence, and the importance of believing in yourself and never giving up on your dreams.

Paige is working toward becoming a public speaker because she wants to share her story, encourage others, and remind people that their voices and experiences matter. She has also written her first children's book, A Million Dreams, inspired by the child with autism that she has had the honor of being a PCA for. He has inspired her to begin writing children's books that help teach kids about disabilities, celebrate differences, and see the abilities and possibilities in every person. She hoping to publish A Million Dreams and continue creating stories that help children feel understood, represented, and empowered.

As a paraprofessional, she has the privilege of supporting students every day, helping with Best Buddies at the elementary school where she works. These experiences have shown her how powerful it is when someone takes the time to see the person beyond a disability and believes in what they can accomplish.

As a Best Buddies Ambassador, she wants to use her voice, her story, and her experiences to help create a world where everyone feels included, valued, and empowered to dream. We all have a million dreams inside of us, andshe hopes to help others believe that theirs are possible, too.
