Tell Us About It:
Chris was hired as a Financial Assistant in our department HQ's office and, as such, spends the majority of his day dealing with financial matters. Having said so, he always stands at the ready to pitch in wherever needed, be it something as mundane as moving tables/set up for an event, to something more complex such as technical support. As we all transitioned to online communication in a matter of days, Chris learned Zoom and Webex in the blink of an eye, and subsequently helped his Biology colleagues install the platforms, offered  one-on-one sessions, and even conducted a formal training session for all staff. In no way is technical support of this type part of Chris' normal job, but this effort is indicative of his can-do, ever-generous nature to zoom up to the plate and provide help.
