Name: Michael Gilson
Title: Kitchen Coordinator
How long have you worked at Second Helpings?
I started in September 2019.
What do you like most about your job?
The connection I have with so many great people that share the same passion to help others.
What is the best career lesson you’ve learned so far?
When you put your passion of what you love, in a place where it is needed, nothing feels more rewarding.
What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t doing this?
My other passion is photography. I would probably open my own studio.
Where is your favorite place to be?
I love the outdoors. Nature is my jam. Put me in the wilderness, especially where there are waterfalls.
Favorite line from a movie or book?
“I don’t know how much value I have in this universe, but I do know that I’ve made a few people happier than they would have been without me, and as long as I know that, I’m as rich as I ever need to be.” – Robin Williams
