-: What I love most about my job
is how diverse it is, in every sense of the word.
So, the people I work with are diverse.
I work with people, I think HarvestPlus right now,
we have people from 20 different countries
that I work with day to day in the DC office.
That doesn't even include the people that I work with
actually in our global country programs.
And so, every time I wander through the office,
people are speaking in different languages,
they're talking to people from home.
And so, I love that international aspect of it.
That was something I was really drawn to.
And then, so that's the diversity of the people.
There's also the diversity of the projects.
For me, every day looks a little bit different.
Today, I'm here doing this.
Tomorrow, I might be meeting with the Gates Foundation.
Next week, I might be working on a report,
developing a proposal.
And so, for me, I really enjoy getting to do
a whole host of different projects.
And the great thing about working for a nonprofit,
and a global nonprofit at that,
is that you get to wear a lot of hats. (laughs)
And I love that.
The fundraising is critical.
It's so critical to the projects that we do
and to helping people improving their livelihoods
and their day-to-day.
And so, that's definitely the most challenging part,
especially in a culture where people,
it's hard to think about your life
in conjunction to an African farmer's life.
How do you relate that to somebody?
And so, the fundraising has always been the challenge,
I think, and will continue to be the challenge.
But that can be said of nonprofits all over the world.
