What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
I think what I enjoy most about being in my current role and working in a nonprofit is that I really get to make my passion the center of my job. I'm really passionate about shining a light on the issue of domestic and family violence because it's been kept in the dark for so long and not discussed.
Not only do I get to work directly in that, but it's my job to shout it from the rooftops to make sure everyone knows what's going on. I want to ensure that proper attention is given to this serious public health issue.
I don't think a lot of people in their jobs necessarily get to do that. If you work in a for-profit industry, you don't always have the opportunity to work towards an issue you're really passionate about.
I feel really special that I get to do that every day. I don't really come in and ask myself, "Why am I doing this? What's the point of this job?" I kind of get to skip that because I know what the point of my job is and I know what the impact is.
