education English BA, Lyon College
Our House staff since November 2010
I serve as a hub for people in
the community who are interested in volunteering & for our
staff as they try to find volunteers to fill specific needs. My
favorite part, though, is developing service learning curriculum for high school volunteers.
I’ve always been very passionate
about issues of social justice, but
since beginning work at Our
House, my perceptions of homelessness have really changed. I
better understand the realities
people living in homelessness face
every day & am more determined
to see homelessness in Little
Rock become a thing of the past.
You know all those weird gadgets
& machines in eye clinics? Yep,
I cleaned those.
Many people inspire me. Two are
Maximilian Kolbe & Flannery
O’Conner. (Google them!)
Another is my grandpa, Edmund
Gangluff. Somehow he is both the
toughest & gentlest person I know.
I’m a lucky girl to have amazing
friends who listen to my rambling anecdotes, let me hog
both arm rests at the movies, &
are always up for a spontaneous
canoe trip, karaoke night, or
bike ride. I try to waste time
with them as much as possible.
Never forget that we belong to
each other.
