Sarah Richards, Coordinator of Prospect Research, Dynamic Catholic

What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing it?

When I was in High school, I knew I wanted to work at Dynamic Catholic (back then The Matthew Kelly Foundation). I applied for multiple positions when I graduated college but did not get any of them. A few months later, I received a call asking if I would be interested in a position in development. I quit my current job the next day, before even receiving an official offer, because I knew it was where I was supposed to be.

What’s your favorite thing about what you do or where you work?

The people. I work with some of the most amazing and supportive people. Many of my co-workers are some of my closest friends, including two who were bridesmaids in my wedding.

When/where was your first Apra conference?

Pittsburg 2018 and I was honored to be able to present as well as meet Nathan Fay, author of Precision Prospect Development.  :)

Would you rather have your dishes or clothes be magically clean?

Definitely dishes. I do not mind laundry, I do not mind loading, and emptying the dishwasher but I hate dishes that need washed in the sink like pots, pans and specialty items.

What skill would you like to master?

Salesforce. It is such a powerful tool. I am working on my admin certification, but that is honestly only the tip of the iceberg for SalesForce.
