Meet our Volunteer Resources Assistant
Have you met Tabitha Wolery-Langland? Tabitha joined the Project Angel Heart team in November as our volunteer resources assistant! We had the opportunity to catch up with her to learn more about her background and role at Project Angel Heart.
Welcome, Tabitha! Tell us a little bit about your background.
I’m a Colorado native and grew up in Brighton, Colorado. I now live in Westminster with my husband, Zach, and our dogs. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree and discovered my passion for volunteer coordination while working for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Before that, I worked as a laboratory analyst for a few years and interned with the Butterfly Pavilion’s volunteer program.
What are you looking forward to with your new role at Project Angel Heart?
I am looking forward to getting to know all the wonderful volunteers here and making a difference in the community through my work. After working a few temporary positions for Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s volunteer program, it’s so exciting to know that I’ll be able to build a career here at Project Angel Heart and contribute to our mission long-term.
What do you like most about working in volunteer resources?
I really enjoy hearing volunteers share their stories about what inspired them to get involved with Project Angel Heart and what keeps them motivated. It’s incredibly touching and inspiring to see the dedication and passion people have for helping those in need. I also enjoy working on projects for the volunteer database.
What’s your favorite meal?
I absolutely love tacos and could survive off street tacos alone. They’re so versatile, and I’m addicted to Torchy’s Tacos.
If you had 24 hours to do whatever you wanted, what would you do?
If I had 24 hours to do anything, I’d go on a beautiful hike somewhere in Europe, enjoy a (gluten-free) beer and comfort food for lunch, explore old architecture and museums, and end the day at a screamo/punk rock music festival, where I can crowd-surf my way to the front to meet the band.
What are some of your hobbies?
I really enjoy anything outdoors—hiking, biking, camping, wildlife watching, and taking my dogs on adventures. I also enjoy painting and experimenting with creative eyeshadow looks. I’m also a karaoke fiend. One of my favorite things is finding new restaurants to try with friends and family.
