Question: How long have you worked at NICF?

Q: What is the best part of your job?
A: It’s hard to list just one part of my job that I enjoy. I just think being a part of an organization where the mission is to improve the lives of community members is pretty special.

Q: What is something you want people to know about the foundation?
A: We have 151 scholarships funds between the three counties we serve. 151!! We have been able to help so many students head to college, and we couldn’t have done it without our donors.

A: Spending time with family and friends is the highlight of my life right now. My little family lives simply which allows us to find joy in the little things.
