In October 2024 I was informed that my coworker at the Woodward House would be absent for at least 6 months and I was asked if I would be abel to take on the extra task by myself, I agreed and was abel to maintain the day to day cleanliness of the house prepare for events work closely with contractors, maintenance workers and take care of any and all day to day tasks by myself. Since my co worker has returned I have been asked to continue these responsibilities and fill in on a day to day basis while also still maintaining my responsibilities on campus.
