"I have two observations to share about Serena. The first is that she seemed to interact effortlessly with people from the floor room to the board room in her role with the Intermountain Forest Association. I think she was able to identify with and communicate effectively with both foresters and executives alike. The second is that she seemed genuinely passionate about her job. It’s too bad that more people don’t truly like what they do as much as she seemed to."
