Q&A

What do you really do at work?
In my role as a Client Relations and Fundraising Specialist I provide administrative, fundraising, and sponsorship support to GMP clients. My responsibilities include extensive contact with sponsors and members, website administration, working with committees, and other client support.

Describe your Perfect Day.
My perfect day consists of first waking up early and drinking coffee on my porch. Next, I would allow time
for my favorite hobbies of playing guitar and piano, listening to a new album, going on a run or walk, and
taking time to learn about presidential history. Lastly, I would make sure to include time for simply
spending time with my friend group as I love them and they help me to be a better person.

What’s your Superpower?
I would say that my superpower is creativity. I recognize that I am quick on my feet when dealing with many moving targets.

What’s your life motto?
My life motto is affirm the good in people and situations. When people and situations are not the way we want them to be, what can really help us and others to grow is to recognize the good attributes and help others to see where they can use those good attributes to affect wholesome and lasting change.

What inspires you?
What inspires me is seeing people coming together for a common goal. When I see a group of individuals putting in physical and mental labor in order to accomplish a goal that helps people, I am so inspired by their determination, sacrifice, and love.
