Mandy Bock – Volunteer and Special Events Coordinator
Name: Mandy Bock
Position: Volunteer & Special Events Coordinator
Years at Donor Alliance: About 2 ½
Why I chose to work at Donor Alliance: I wanted to work for a mission-driven organization & loved the culture of this organization from the moment I had my first interview.
Why do I like working at Donor Alliance: While I enjoy so many things about Donor Alliance, I would have to say that people are at the heart of every one of them. I have learned so much in my 2 ½ years at this organization, and am very much looking forward to see where we go in the future!
What does donation & transplantation mean to you? Hope. Hope in the mourning of a loved one’s life that a piece of them is still living on in someone else. Hope for those waiting for a transplant and a second chance for those who have received a transplant.
Any direct connection to donation & transplantation? In high school, my best friend’s mother died waiting for a liver transplant. It’s stayed with me to this day and I always think of her.
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? I really enjoy traveling and immersing myself in a new culture. I’ve also recently begun exploring my ancestry and that’s been enlightening.
