Minister Reese reveals her dominant spiritual gift as "the gift of mercy," and she has a high value for kindness. She is passionate about giving and receiving exceptional customer service, and is known for her standard greeting, "How may I serve you?" Her goal is to convey to members and visitors alike that they are "seen and significant."
