What is your favorite thing about your job?

ANSWER: My favorite thing about my job is the changes, growth, and careers that the students get because of the training class. When they call or come back and tell us how their lives have changed.

What do you do for fun?

ANSWER: For fun I watch sports, catch some live music, try a new restaurant, or get together with my friends.

‍What environmental issue would you fix if you could?

ANSWER: If I could fix one environmental issue it would be water. Everyone would have access to clean water to drink. It makes no sense to me that people here in the US have third world country issues with water.

‍What are you most looking forward to this fiscal year?‍

ANSWER: This fiscal year I am excited for the new class that started this month. I am also excited about any other issues or topics that I can grow and learn from as the center expands, I want to be able to expand with it!
