What’s a typical day look like for you? It varies, but most days begin with updating the analytics channel visualizations in Power BI, then I check in with Charlotte to prepare for the day or plan for the upcoming week. After that I work on gift entries and coding for data services in RE. In between that I work on other duties such as board and committee meeting preparation, liaising with board members, and supporting SLT with ad hoc projects.

Favorite part of your job: The tremendous growth I’ve experienced in my short tenure with the chapter. So grateful to be a part of an organization that impacts the life of many children and values its employees.

A memorable wish experience: Wish kid Rufus speaking at one of our board meetings about his wish to go to Disney and Universal Studios, specifically his time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Hobbies: Hiking, paddleboarding, anything outdoors and listening to true crime podcasts

Something people might not know about you: When I was in elementary school, I was a member of the school’s chess team and got to compete in tournaments across Dallas.
