Roger was a member of our public relations team at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He did outstanding work in both writing for our external and internal publications, as well as working with local and national media. He is dedicated, hard-working, personable, and not afraid to take on new tasks and satisfactorily sees them through to completion. And he does all of this while displaying a bright personality and a good sense of humor.
