Dinah has been an active Foundation Volunteer since she joined QCD Frisco in November 2019 and explains that some of
her favorite memories over her career have been while volunteering Dinah shared that the reason she volunteers is because helping families and children in need is something very close to her heart. She explains, "I grew up with a single parent and back to school and Christmas were always tough for us. I know firsthand what a huge impact the seemingly little things can have." She recalls that one of her very favorite memories was from volunteering at the Frisco Friends of the Family Christmas store, where families in need are invited to shop for gifts for their families to make the holidays special - a full circle moment that brings her and these families joy.
