Superhero Spotlight

So many diligent and hardworking AmeriCorps Members have passed through our doors and made a lasting impact on Global Game Changers. As much as we would love to keep these phenomenal team members for the long haul, their service term is unfortunately limited. To commemorate these Superhero workers, we plan to spotlight each of them as they depart from Global Game Changers.

 

Here’s to honoring a year filled with many corny jokes, caffeine-filled days, and consuming a copious amount of ice cream (thanks to Ehrler’s for being generous supporters and right next door!).

 

Jessica Sears:

Hometown: New Albany, IN

Role at GGC: Responsible for the bulk of the content writing at GGC, co-managed all social media platforms, and assisted with grant writing

End of Service: February 18th

Next Adventure: Taking on a new role as Executive Administrative Assistant at the Louisville Book Festival

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Brownie Batter

 

As Development VISTA, Jessica’s role evolved drastically during her time at GGC. She began by assisting with grant-writing, but her job quickly shifted to include all of GGC’s written material. Throughout her time at GGC, she also managed to become one of Ehrler’s top customers. They, and Global Game Changers, will miss her dedication.

Q: Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?

A: Emma Stone or Emma Watson. Essentially any actress named Emma.

 

Q: What would you most like to be remembered for in life?

A: Even if I fail at everything I do, I hope that I’m remembered for being a genuine person who people always felt like they could be themselves around.
