People Who Have Made An Influence: Part 4: Christine Pisani

My Council boss is a one-of-a-kind stellar boss, advocate, leader, and hero. She has helped me so much with not only the Council but legislative items, listening, going on trips, and she has been nothing but an encouragement for me and lots of other people. She is very knowledgeable about various things and is an amazing beacon of importance in Idaho and beyond. She has helped me create an advocacy pool state wide and further and is one of my biggest fans. Christine Pisani is her name and she is one of my favorite people ever. I met Christine at a cooking club thing and we became fast friends. I appreciate her willingness to be involved in everything whether it is disability related or not and I appreciate her kindness and loving heart towards plenty of people whether they are people with developmental disabilities or people of other marginalized groups. I am not only impressed and awed by all her commitment but it helps make me wish to keep myself informed and trying to do a lot more in the next little bit before I move to Portland. Christine is a total inspiration and is a great friend, colleague, and advocate. Ever since we met I have continued to see growth in both of us and have done numerous non-work things with Christine which have continued to see growth in both of our colleague relationship. I am always grateful for Christine and I to be such great friends and colleagues and I can't wait for two more years on the Council and many more years being in touch and backpacking and plenty of other things in the near future. I am proud to call her a great friend and if there was an animal that was like Christine I would say that it would be a tiger because she is ferocious on how she lives for others and doesn't back down from a challenge. I am beyond grateful for Christine's influence and her willingness to talk to me about tough things and try to realize my potential which will always be one of the biggest things I appreciate about her as well trying to realize her potential in the great way of life as well. I am beyond thankful for all that Christine and I have done together and I look forward to many more. I have known her 7 and a half years and I couldn't be prouder than to be stuck with such a beacon of light that she is in my life.
