Personal Summary
It is my desire to contribute to an organization with a mission centered in faith and service by building collaborative relationships. In my experience, fostering and building relationships is paramount to staying connected during challenging times, such as the pandemic. My leadership skills, ability to multi-task and my success with problem-solving enhances my capability to work collaboratively with volunteers, constituents, and community partners to serve the community. This opportunity to listen to the stories and experiences of others allows me to hear their need for belonging and inclusion and sets a foundation for unbounded potential toward the mission. It would be an honor to share my talent and passion for serving others with a dynamic mission-focused organization. I am called and driven to work with and for a dynamic organization doing good work in the world.
