A chance to see her work make a difference in our Community drew Chandra to CFMT.

“When I consider where I want to work and how I may use my skills to give back and make a difference in my community, an organization’s mission and vision matter to me,” says Chandra. “CFMT’s mission ‘to enrich the quality of life in Middle Tennessee’ more than satisfies my need for the work that I do to impact the lives of those around me in positive ways. It’s pretty cool that CFMT supports people’s desire to give to the causes they care about no matter the size of their wallet.”

When she isn’t crunching numbers at work, Chandra loves to practice her Spanish daily, hike, enjoy photography, read a plethora of different books (history, autobiographies, accounting, books that have been made into movies,) study to become a doula, create music on a social music platform, and be a tourist in here native town and explore the “new’ Nashville. Chandra also loves fashion, and if you see her out and about, she might stop to compliment you on your outfit and ask you about what inspired it.
