Q: What are you most excited to do in your new service position?
A: I have never worked with an organization whose focus is food justice — I am so excited to learn more about this issue and work to alleviate food insecurity in the Nashville community.
Q: What is a silly/random fact about you?
A: I have traveled to six of the seven continents!
Q: How do you spend your time when you’re not serving or volunteering?
