You may know her as the smiling face of Mater Center- but how much do you really know about her? Recently, I spent time interviewing Ms. Wills, the lovely front desk receptionist of Mater Center. I got to talk to her about everything- from her favorite part of Stone Ridge to some fun facts about her. I enjoyed getting to know Ms. Wills on a deeper level, and she is truly such a sweet and caring person. I recommended everyone to stop by Mater Center every once in a while and have a conversation with her, she is such a great person to talk to. I hope you enjoy learning about Ms. Wills!
