Nancy Young
“I love working with people who are ready and willing to commit to growth, open and eager to learn and explore, and who are curious about and capable of examining their own part in things. I love people’s lives and their stories. It is like I get to listen to autobiographies all day long. All are different, nuanced, complex, deep, textured. And sometimes I get to participate in a chapter”
