Role within Lincoln TeamMates:

I love representing TeamMates in and around Lincoln as I work to recruit new mentors and work with our website and marketing materials. It is also my privilege to work with many of TeamMates community partners.

Who was your mentor? What lessons they taught stuck with you?

Dawna was one of my very first supervisors. She believed in me even more than I believed in myself. She sought out opportunities for me and trusted me with projects I didn’t know I was ready for. Because of Dawna, I am more self-confident and unafraid to jump into new learning. She continues to be a wonderful friend and champion.

What is one of your favorite memories of your own TeamMates match?

My love of music and theater was one of the reasons I was matched with my mentee. At our very first meeting when she was in elementary school, she requested that we spend our time outside on the playground, “because I always have a song inside of me and that’s the only place I’m allowed to let it out!” A girl after my own heart!
