Our House staff since June 2012
I have a nickname for my job:
I am the Queen of Stuff!
My primary function is to solicit,
manage, track, & improve the
everyday & special in-kind
donations that come to Our
House in a variety of ways. I am
also the main point of contact
for the lovely folks that run our
three thrift store locations.
The people: staff, clients, meal
servers, volunteers, donors, etc.
Everyone is united by a common purpose of helping others
& bettering ourselves. It is such
a motivating & inspiring group
of people to be around all day!
I always want to have a career
that allows me to work directly
with people. We are fascinating
creatures!
I was in a punk-rock band for
about five minutes in junior high.
I love to read, cook, harvest veggies from a community garden
plot that my husband & I rent,
walk our dogs, & grocery shop.
Seriously, grocery shopping is an
event for me, I love it so much.
A marine biologist, despite the
fact that deep water terrified me.
