How did you become a Blue Crew volunteer?
I can’t remember!
What organizations and/or service projects do you support with the Blue Crew?
- Back on My Feet – in the faces of the homeless, I see myself, family and friends. This could be anyone’s journey.
- Rebuilding Together – a little sweat equity can make a world of difference in the life of a family.
How do you think the Blue Crew impacts the corporate culture at Independence?
It’s an excellent opportunity to work with coworkers company-wide.
What motivates you to donate so many volunteer hours?
It is necessary to enhance the communities we live and work in. There is always a need, and it’s amazing how many lives you can touch.
Is there a particular volunteer project or achievement you are most proud of?
Blue Cross Broad Street Run – it is always a privilege to meet people from all walks of life and to hear the different stories that brought them to the race. It takes an amazing amount of effort and cooperation to pull it off. I love the teamwork.
When you aren’t at work or volunteering, how do you like to spend your free time?
Reading and spending time with family and friends.
