- the goals of Projects for All, and specifically what her organization is trying to accomplish with Project Hello World;
- deficits that she sees in traditional education models, and how Project Hello World is addressing them;
- how her original training in theatre became an ideal fit for working in the non-profit sector;

- seeking balance between her work and other parts of her life, particularly with respect to her family; and

Thank you so much Andy for taking the time to hear the story of Projects For All. It was a real pleasure to speak to you.
Since our conversation we have built 4 more Hello Hubs and there is a new website for Hello World, with a film of that process: http://www.projecthelloworld.org
Thank you!
