Her relationship-based approach and dedication to root causing an issue were key factors in our team’s success.

Classroom Volunteer
Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa
- 6 years 1 month
Education
Participating in Junior Achievement at Van Allen Elementary was one of the best parts of my week. The students were a joy to work with. They were always happy to see me and to listen to the stories I told. Every visit put a smile on my face and in my heart. My volunteer involvement is a benefit to our company as ACT IS the students of our community, young and old. These kids are our future and any chance I can get to encourage reading and learning is time well spent.
