"From the moment I had the pleasure of meeting Destini, it was apparent that she is deeply motivated to serve. She takes initiative and goes out of her way to make connections that have been both beneficial and essential to the growth of our foundation and our community. Her gentle and bright demeanor coupled with her passion for progress makes her a valued and important addition to any team.”
