Meet Our Chapter Leaders
Chapter Leader: Payton Danosky
Hi! I’m Payton. I became LHA’s Washington chapter leader during my junior year at Gig Harbor High School. I am in a dual-enrollment program, so I take classes at the local community college. I love backpacking, camping, and pretty much any other outdoor activity where I get to explore. Recently, I have also developed a passion for drawing and reading, as I have been able to try a variety of new hobbies with my extra time during quarantine. I am glad I have the opportunity to contribute to LHA and hopefully I will be able to spread joy through the senior community in Washington.
