Thoughts you have on your advocacy and the organization(s).

I'm really grateful to the AFF for the encouragement and support to get involved in the city I now call home. I have loved getting connected with the nonprofit sector, even though I do not work in it. Ruffner has been a wonderful organization to advocate for and see the impact of AFF contributions. In the face of the pandemic, I have seen them make tough decisions to stay available to the local community.

If you are in a profession or field of work, what background/present employment status would you like to share? What do you really enjoy about what you do?

I am an actuarial student at Protective Life Insurance Company (only one exam left before my ASA!). One of my favorite things about my job is that two years or so, students rotate to another area of actuarial work. Between the rotation program and exams, I feel like I'm always learning something new. I find this career very fulfilling. A big part of what actuaries do is ensuring that the company can meet its obligations to policyholders.

Anything you'd like to share about your personal life? Fun thing or things you still do, in spite of the pandemic?

My boyfriend and I live within walking distance of Ruffner and we have been going for a lot more runs and hikes with our two dogs. I appreciate more than ever having accessible green space!
