Meet Brooklyn B. | #SetTheTableIntern
How would you describe yourself in three words, beyond just your name? I would describe myself as caring, loving, and kind. But most importantly, driven. When I have a passion in mind, I do what it takes in order to achieve it and/or get it done. When people look at me, they recognize me for the things I do and know I can get things done. So I am seen as reliable and trustworthy. This also comes down to my passion for volunteering, whether it’s paid or not. Just being able to help people in need fulfills me because it fulfills them.
