Trussel Tuesday Spotlight

Trussel Tuesday: Khayeni Sanders

As a human centered and fully remote company, Truss is always looking for new ways to learn more about the people who make up our team. At heart, Truss is made up of an incredibly talented and dedicated group of people who consistently show up and get things done. And each Trussel comes with their own set of unique skills that contribute to the diversity and betterment of our organization.

This month’s Trussel Tuesday features Khayeni Sanders. Khayeni is a Senior UX Designer on our Milmove project. Her team has consistently shouted her out for her willingness to help and her collaborative attitude! When she’s not crushing it at Truss, you may find Khayeni traveling. You can see pictures from her trip to Laos where she toured the rainforest on an ATV and her walking through the treetops of New Zealand!
