What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
I love working with the community and engaging with people. I think it's one of the skills I've learned and honed the most over my time at Eco SLO.
It's about being good at working with community members and always ensuring that improving and beautifying our community is at the core of everything we do. So that's probably one of my most favorite parts.
I also love trees and tree plantings; I'm really passionate about them. It's always a highlight when I can walk away from a tree planting and see how much better we've made a park or a street.
The same goes for our cleanups, but trees in particular are what I've focused on most at Eco SLO. It's something I'm probably the most passionate about.
I'm also really big on talking about trees and the benefits they bring to communities. So, working with community members and beautifying public spaces are the things I'm most passionate about and most enjoy.
