Favorite quote:  “In matters of worldly importance, there is no us versus them – there is only we.”
Dream vacation:  Sailing in the South Pacific.  
Why I love my job: Working for NF Endurance is the most awesome job I could ever dream of because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, and in every cell in my body, that the road to treatments and a cure for this devastating disorder will be paved with NF Endurance neon.

When I was 5-years-old I wanted to be:  Totally a mom.  A full time, stay-at-home, never-work-outside-the-home mom.  There was no other possibility at five.  (I had no idea that this would be the toughest job there is).
Favorite superhero:  I loved the superman TV show as a kid.
Last text message says:  Sure Jordan, I can pick up chocolate chip muffins, popcorn, kettle corn, chocolate cake with butter cream icing, and get stuff to make cookies on my way home.  I see you’ve selected only healthy choices?
Favorite quote: Live life as if you’ll die today, but dream as if you’ll live forever.
Dream vacation: I have Hawaii on my bucket list, but I’d like to go before I look like a total prune.
Why I love my job: After 17 years as a stay-at-home mom, I wanted to return to work but wanted to find a job where I could make a difference in the lives of others.  Being the program coordinator for NF Endurance is my dream job.  I love working with the most amazing charity team out there.  I want each member of this team to feel like they too are a part of something special.  I want them to leave their event wanting to come back again and again. 

When I was 5-years-old I wanted to be:  I wasn’t that precocious.
Favorite superhero: Don’t have one … I prefer NF Heroes
Last text message says:  From my daughter, “Really?? Who should I meet then as I go to ASU as well p.s. I only have four tutoring sessions left so I will need to buy more in the future”
Favorite quote: “Relationships are everything.”
Dream vacation: Cruise down the Yangtze River and Run the Great China Wall or sail the Mediterranean and run Mt. Olympus.
Why I love my job: The fun and joy of being around people and “hearing” their stories  – mostly runners, who are enthusiastically determined to “be the change we wish to see in the world:” a cure for NF! It's serious fun on the run.

Favorite quote: “You can tell someone’s priorities by what they get done.”  -- C.B. Foster
Dream vacation: New Zealand with my Honey
Why I love my job: Working for the NFET blends my talents, abilities, interests, personality type and heart for the hurting all into one giant package. I am able to be a part of something so much bigger than myself.  The work I do in team development and relationship building goes hand in hand with my experience from past positions.  By being able to (mostly) work from home, I am able to be an effective wife and mother to another passion, my family.  Meeting delightful people from all walks of life, traveling from event to event, networking, hearing stories from NF affected families, and being a part of the solving the NF puzzle, are all reasons as to why I love my job so much.  Having such an incredibly talented staff to work with is just icing on the cake!

Favorite quote: “Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” -- Christopher Robin
Dream vacation: Italy – great food, old family members to find, awesome things to see and do, and did I mention the great food??
Why I love my job: I love meeting and talking with people from the United States and hearing their stories. I feel that I am contributing to a great cause and I am doing some good in the world in my own small way -- a life lesson for the kids.

When I was 5-years-old I wanted to be: A gas station attendant.  I liked the way they cleaned your car windows with a squeegee.
Favorite superhero:  Crabby Appleton (rotten to the core) from Tom Terrific.  I think he is actually the foil, and Tom is the hero, but I always kind of liked him best.

Favorite quote: Barn's burned down...now I can see the stars.
Dream vacation: anywhere by the sea, with a big bag of books.
Why I love my job: I love working  for the NF team because I love the feeling that I am helping people.  When I send off a packet to a runner, I imagine them being excited to be getting ready for their event, and I have the happy feeling that we are working together for a cure for NF, and I feel connected that way to each person.

Favorite quote: "To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded."  -- Bessie Stanley
Dream vacation: Any forest with hills or mountains.
Why I love my job:  My job is to put myself out of work as quickly as possible. How many other people can say that? The sooner we find a cure the sooner I am out of work. I can't wait for that day!  I am humbled and excited to be able to serve this team full-time. Together we will find that cure.
