The employees here have a great sense of community and service. The organization is very much interested in leading as well as partnering with others to make our community a great place to live, work and thrive.

I really enjoy the people I work with daily. They have genuine concern for the wider community and for one another. This really feels like a close knit family.

What has been your biggest accomplishment during your time so far at Metro United Way?

I think what I'm most proud of is the work we continue to do in and around our facility to update it while still honoring its past. We are almost 100 years old and our facility has held up quite well. To be able to continue those efforts is extremely important to me and quite rewarding as well.
