NCFH Meet our Staff - Bobbi

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity? 

• Indoor: Seed beading, crocheting
  
• Outdoor: Trying to tame my wild Texas terrain (raised bed gardens, ¼” topsoil on top of limestone beds, digging up Native American artifacts including arrowheads flint stones, sea shell fossils, wild cacti, overcoming flash floods, etc.)
  

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose? 

• I have no idea! The thought has never crossed my mind. 
  

What is your favorite thing about living in Texas? 

• The end of Summer heat (68- 100+ degree days so far this year) and the month of April.
  

What is one thing about you that surprises people? 

• I have no idea!  Someone tell me please!

Why do you care about increasing access to care for Ag workers & their families? 

• My life was not easy growing up, we moved around a LOT, and it was hard to put down roots, but I did not have to deal with racial prejudice nor narrow minded bigotry. When I really needed help, someone was always there to assist. This taught me to appreciate everything and everyone that helped me along the way. Working with Ag Worker families since I was 10 years old taught me to be especially grateful for the privileges I had. I knew I could not ‘fix’ the world in general, but felt that I could make an impact on this hard working population whose language I love and whose values are so close to the ones I was raised with, that deserves so much from us as a society.
