🌟 Corporate Work Study Student Spotlight 🌟

This week, we’re excited to shout out Arsema G. ‘29 and the great work she’s been doing at Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Seattle/King County!

Recently, Arsema stepped up and showed impressive leadership by presenting a portion of the orientation she had practiced. She spoke clearly and confidently, even pushing through a bit of nervousness. Her supervisor shared how proud she was of Arsema’s poise and preparation during the presentation.

Beyond presenting, Arsema supports her team in many hands‑on ways, helping transport lunches, distributing gloves, and assisting on the distribution line. Her willingness to step in wherever needed reflects both her teamwork and commitment to serving others.

Excellent work, Arsema! Your confidence, care for others, and readiness to help make a meaningful impact.
