What inspired you to serve?

I was inspired to serve because of the opportunity to make a lasting impact. I felt like I did not have this opportunity in my previous position. I was drawn to Habitat for Humanity because that is their mission. I also wanted to strengthen my resume.

What do you enjoy most about serving?

I like that the job has taught me so many new skills in a short amount of time. I also like the amount of variety in the position.

What do you like most about your Habitat for Humanity?

In addition to their mission statement, I appreciate that everyone is nice, patient with me, and willing to answer my questions.
