>> I love being able to kind of use all different parts of my brain.
One day I might be working on a budget.
Another day I might be getting to design a PR campaign.
The next day I'm working on an event.
And I love being able to kind of jump in.
I feel like that's where my liberal arts education really came into play,
is because I was able to take a wide variety of classes in different fields.
And in my own career I like to do a similar type of approach.
Some of the challenges within public service, in general, is there's typically not as much
of an awareness of what the field really encompasses, and people just kind of think
of you as do-gooders and organizations.
Nobody thinks that it really has the same challenges to run
and manage a large organization or a nonprofit or foundation as it does a private sector.
And so we need the same skill sets and the same leadership
and the same strong staff members as private organizations.
So sometimes it's difficult from people who maybe only see public service
as government bureaucracy and kind of changing the conversation
about what it means to be in public service.
