What do you consider the most rewarding
aspect of your job?
The rewards of
working in the nonprofit sector have been many things over the years, but now
that I am a mother, it is knowing that I am making the world a better place for
my children to inherit.
The best part of nonprofit work is...
Working with a diverse group of creative, talented and
impassioned people toward a common vision.
What do you do for relaxation?
I've recently started practicing yoga and it is a wonderful
way to relax. I have found that it is
not only strengthening my body, but helping to keep me centered throughout the
day.
What is your favorite quote?
"You must be
the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
