Of course, I've got tons of pro bono projects that I've done -- my ace always says that "everyone needs an editor" (oh, how true), I say everyone needs a fearless jill of all trade (my boss uses the fearless word to talk about me). So most often than not, someone will say hey do you know how to do this and if I don't know how to do it, there the challenge begins (and you'll probably see me in another week or two).
Some example of my pro bono work?
I do all this because good people need to know that good people exist...
