Michelle Gallardo volunteered with fellow TPG coworkers Leah Burkhart, Insurance Service Associate, and “Funny Man” Scott Averette, Accountant, at Habitat for Humanity. They helped frame walls, install vents in the rafters, dig out basement wells, and performed general cleaning. Michelle said, “I never realized how much work goes into building a house, how sore I would be the next day, and how much fun I would have helping build a home! It felt great to give back to the community.”
