I feel very honored and grateful to have been selected for “The Most Amazing Staff” award. Especially since there are many amazing staff in the Office of Philanthropy throughout the locations. One reason I love working at Shriners Children’s is getting to witness the pure generosity of our donors, from little kids giving their birhtday money to longstanding community fundraisers, and everything in-between. Being able to connect people to our mission that transforms the lives of children and their families is a great privilege.
