.040 Katie Takeuchi

Katie and I met during our training to be RAs in college and I vividly recall her standing out as a kind, gentle human being who had so much to give her future residents. She’s an incredible listener, always being respectful to moment at hand and person she’s interacting with. She has such a compassionate tone whenever we speak, and that compassion clearly runs through her everyday life.

Katie, thank you so much for being such a joy to be around. Thank you, of course, for your help and support whenever I was (frequently) in the Marvin Center in search of Tim or some sort of resource. Thank you for your attention to the smallest details, your positivity and joy, and for just being such a good person. Thank you for making my day better whenever we ran into each other. Thank you for just being you!
