Hendri Wa
Administrative Associate (he/him)
As the Administrative Associate I support the administrative and financial operations of the organization for the Executive Director, Finance & Operations Director, Board of Directors and all the staff. And make sure there’s always coffee in the office.
My favorite books as a kid were The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton—those books helped me learn English as a third language, and instilled in me a sense of adventure and creative problem-solving nature that still drives me to these days.
On my desk you’ll find googly eyes finger puppet, beach rocks and a shell from my recent travel to Spain and Portugal, a glass of water, and more random stuff.
When I’m not working, I can be found on a hiking trail, in a campsite, in a park, on a lake, dance studio, or on a couch.
The emoji that best represents me is the Red Balloon—because we all need a little whimsy in life and text.
My ideal Sunday is doing something different than the Sunday before. I thrive on variety. So either hiking to lakes or mountains, rehearsing or performing, playing with kiddo, witnessing a performance, relaxing by the water, or all together in a day.
My personal motto is “Try anything once”—actually that’s my Ma’s motto that I keep to heart dearly.
