Why do you enjoy working at Mary Black Foundation?
I am grateful to work with so many people (our team members, trustees, grantee partners, organizational leaders, and residents) who care about the community and do everything they can to see it thrive. My personal and professional values are perfectly aligned, making it a joy to come to work every day!
What do you love about living in Spartanburg?
I love Spartanburg’s size – it is big enough to have all the amenities that I want and need, but small enough that I feel connected and engaged.
Fun Facts:
My husband and I are originally from Syracuse, NY and we visit often because we have a lot of family still there. The middle school dance was our first date! I love cats and, while I don’t currently have my own, I take care of several neighborhood cats.
