It's a different job every time Valencia Jones goes to the office.
New events, new goals, new relationships and all for a cause that she is proud of.
"The spontaniety rejuvenates me," she says, "and places me in various roles that promote professional and personal development."
Not only does her work with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society allow Jones to get to know individuals with MS, it allows her to provide hope and support for them as well. She says that "The tenacity and courageous spirit of our clients, complimented with their gracious spirit always leaves me inspired."
