“I work 40 hours a week on-the-job at the anti-hunger organization United Food Bank in Mesa, AZ. I did professional development and leadership development through anti-hunger learning opportunities in the Summer Seminars. I helped to audit and train at distribution sites throughout Arizona and even was able to assist displaced residents during the wildfires. ”
