What is something you love about working at NAFI?
“I love the fun we have at work and the attention we pay to the staff’s well-being and development. The work we do is so rewarding and challenging, thus no day is the same! I have intentionally taken positions where I could always be in regular contact with both staff and clients, so returning to NAFI has continued to provide me with a rewarding career where I feel I can truly make a difference.”
