A favorite project and why?

I was mobilized for a three-week emergency response to Los Angeles to assist with hazardous material removal in the aftermath of the Palisades Fire. I loved this project because it felt like I was making a positive impact during a devastating situation. And I loved the camaraderie of working in difficult conditions with a bunch of strangers from around the country as we all learned together.
