Chandra was my manager at Big Brothers Big Sisters KC. She was an incredibly strategic, motivating, and caring leader. Chandra was an advocate for myself and my teammembers. She was extremely mission-driven. Focused and inspiring, Chandra is the absolute best!!

Nora Freyman

Chandra's positive attitude and passion for her work encourages others to be a part of the mission. She sets her goals high and exceeds them, by large numbers. For example, she had a goal to collect 350 notebooks for one of our events and rallied her staff to collect over 1000. Her strong communication and kind approach to her work inspires others to build strong relationships with Chandra. Chandra is a shining star and I'm beyond thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with her on several different projects and events.
