⭐️ Staff Spotlight ⭐️

Earlier this year, we welcomed Will Hunkins as Assistant Program Director of Aquatics. Welcome to Copple Family, Will! 🌊

• What is your favorite part of your job at the Y so far?
Will: My favorite part of the job would be the friendly and welcoming environment YMCA Lincoln provides to its employees!

• What skills or experiences did you bring with you to the Y?
Will: I was a head lifeguard and swim instructor at Fallbrook for 2.5 years! I also earned a degree in criminology from UNL.

• What’s something new you’ve learned since starting here?
Will: I have learned that a big part of supporting branch operations is work done behind the scenes.

• What’s something people might not realize about your job?
Will: Something people might not realize about this job is all the chemistry involved in providing safe water for patrons to swim in!

• What’s a fun fact about yourself that might surprise people?
Will: A fun fact about me is that I am a fraternal twin!
