Thank you Carrick. Marisa was my entry point into the EA community in 2020. She was the volunteer ambassador that was assigned to me during EAGxVirtual that year. She made me feel comfy (a word she liked) sharing my doubts and insecurities, and then suggested I started volunteering with Rethink Charity, where she was working. Marisa had a significant impact on me as a colleague and as a friend. I’m moved by how all of you describe her in the comments. As you say, she was compassionate, funny, dedicated, friendly, thoughtful, smart, proactive, reliable, kind, honest. I’m devastated that she is gone and will be processing this for some time. Thank you Marisa for all the lives that you touched, known and unknown to you, in your brutally short time with us.
