How did you become interested in working at the LGBT Life Center? As a queer woman new to the area, I originally started following the Center on Instagram to find community and resources. I saw open positions and made the leap to the apply. I think this work is more aligned with who I am.
What’s an interesting thing about you that most people don’t know? I have a lot of random knowledge about the British Royal Family. Think Queen Elizabeth II and on…. Any “The Crown” fans here?
What excites you most about being at the LGBT Life Center? Being around people who have open minds and hearts for the community. Also not having to feel awkward talking about my girlfriend—it was a bit uncomfortable in corporate spaces.
