Friday Note - Meet Lujein Alkreidi


This week I spoke with Lujein Alkreidi, a Peer Support Specialist in Beaverton, Oregon for Lutheran Community Services Northwest. She was so kind to reach out and share her story, and I was blown away by her generosity and hospitality - I bet all the refugees she works for feel the same way. Watch the video below to hear her story, watch a clip produced for USA for UNHCR and hear more about what she and her family have accomplished since the video was filmed.





If you want to nominate someone to share their story or more about their job at LCSNW, drop a comment below. Free free to share a comment for Lujein below too!

Normally I'm asking the questions in a David's Corner conversation, but I was delighted to have the tables turned on me when Maggi Gerhard, HR Generalist, took the reigns of the interview. (Winning a contest put her in the driver's seat!) We cover a wide range of topics from how to create a unified organization to the more humbling revelation of my worst fashion mistake. Our conversation is in two parts. Grab some coffee and join me in the hot seat!
