I GOT THE JOB!!
I found out Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after my interview, but have been waiting to get my official offer from headquarters before I tell the whole world--it's been tough!
On September 20th, I will start the brand new position as Community Relations Coordinator for Heifer International in the Northern NW region. I'll be based in Seattle & while much of my focus will be on the growing volunteer base & activities we have here, I will also travel often within my extended region of Washington, Idaho, Montana & Alaska.
I can't thank all of you enough for your support & encouragement as I have moved along this journey to my chosen career in helping to end hunger & extreme poverty.
For your entertainment, some history...
It all started at Keystone UCC, the church I grew up in.
Here I am on the left, collecting donations for Heifer in a paper bag.
My cousins & I took over the Heifer booth when I was 9. I'm in the middle.
Here I am again at 14, running the booth at the annual Festival of Hope.
And here I am last fall, at the same booth.
It's been quite the journey (& it will only get more exciting!) & I am so happy & blessed to finally be starting my career doing the work my heart desires to do most.
There's one special person who I wish I could visit & share my news with...
Grandma Donnie.
She was a big supporter of Heifer & I know she would be so proud of me.
