Agency or Organization? Tips From Someone Who Made the Move
I sent my résumé for more than a year. I stalked, watched, interviewed, begged and even cried. Until once again my mom told me I was being weird. So I tried a different angle, and before long, I found myself on a journey that would shape my adulthood. Every single day, I came to work knowing I was saving puppies and kitties. How does it get any better? How much closer could I get to the backyard calling to animals that I'm here to help?
So, I'm a fundraiser having a mid-life crisis. Â And that's perfectly fine with me.Â
I am taking time to look around, lift my head and find REAL people who really want to change the world. Â And people smart enough to do it. Â Join me in this fun journey. I have no idea where we will end up - and that is the beauty of it. I'm nonprofit passionate, a hopeful world changer, and always ready to share what I know, learn what I don't, admit when I can't, and ask the hard questions.
