Volunteer Spotlight

December 2023

Marisol M.

Meet Marisol, our Volunteer of the Month for December! Marisol started volunteering in November 2022 and has already contributed over 221 hours of service to Greenhill. She volunteers as a Surgical Suite Assistant and on the DEP team. Marisol also volunteers at Our Sister’s Closet and Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of Lane County.  

From volunteering at Greenhill Marisol has learned, “the work Greenhill does for the animals and the tasks I do every shift, from cleaning and sanitizing the kennels to preparation of equipment for surgeries the next day.”  

Her favorite aspects of volunteering are, “to know that I’m helping to make a difference in the life of the animals and of course see them before, while, and after they recover from surgery.” 

Marisol grew up in Central Mexico and moved from Pennsylvania to Springfield in June 2013 when her husband obtained a job in Eugene. For the past 9 years, she has worked as an independent medical interpreter. Previously she worked in reception and booking in Playa del Carmen near Cancun, Mexico. 

Marisol enjoys walking her dogs, crocheting, making jewelry and spending time with her husband and dogs. She has three dogs, Georgia, a Greenhill graduate, Bradley, and Timber. She also takes care of her friend’s dog, Hank, on the weekends. 

Marisol shares, “When my husband and I felt ready to have a dog I looked for one on the We Rescue app. We found Bradley, and after we got approved to adopt him, he came on a transport from San Antonio, Texas traveling for 3 days and arrived in Portland where we picked him up. One of the best decisions of our lives. Timber was a foster fail and I met Georgia, previously known as Escargot, at the surgery suite.”
