Bio
Lis Geraci
Jena's work ethic and positive demeanor was a rare and enjoyable find. She expertly filled the role of grassroots fundraising intern, where she provided an upbeat, informative representation to constituents and fundraisers alike. I was particularly impressed by Jena's intuitive nature and her willingness to make decisions independently. She has exceptional time management skills and completes projects to the fullest, asking the right questions along the way to ensure she was taking the projects in the right direction. Jena has a knack for completing tasks efficiently and ahead of deadlines and was a strong representative for the Foundation at many off-site events. I would recommend Jena as an asset to any team!
