Jinha and Katie made it so easy that it became something we genuinely looked forward to. Jinha has a superhuman ability to hook you into the process, and Katie brings so much creativity and a thoughtful way of listening that helps uncover your needs. Working with this team was a highlight—their heart, talent, and collaboration made everything not only successful, but deeply enjoyable."

As a board member, I'm able to channel what I do well at Barefoot into something that creates genuine impact in the community.”
