Q. What is your favorite part of being a part of the SDV team?

A. It would be between a children’s hospital and an animal rescue organization.

Q. Have you done any volunteering? If so what is your favorite memory?
A. I used to volunteer at Shy Wolf Sanctuary and was on duty the day a wildfire threatened to destroy it. So many people showed up to assist in the evacuation we ran out of jobs to give. Thankfully, the fire switched directions and no one, and no animals were harmed.
Q. Tell us something that would surprise us about you.
A. I’m a thrill seeker. Now that I’ve been skydiving I’m not sure what to do next.
