Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, looking to bring a fresh new perspective on issues impacting the commonwealth, created the Youth Advisory Council to advise her administration.

“I’m very proud. Thanks to my family, to my community for their support. How can we make Massachusetts more competitive, more accessible and affordable?” Mejia said. More than 320 students applied to be part of this council, according to the governor’s administration. The 60 selected members are made up of diverse young people between 16 and 21 years of age.

All have impressive resumes. Mejia, 18, is a student at Bentley University and the youngest member elected to the Greater Lawrence Technical School Committee.
