MA Workers: Jacob Swanson

The 2018 spring musical, Working, is about everyday working class individuals and the ways in which they struggle with their jobs and find meaning in their work. “MA Workers” is a project by seniors Luke Burnham and Emma Melling designed to give workers within the Minnehaha community a chance to share about their jobs and be appreciated for the ways in which they impact our community on a day-to-day basis. These are their stories.
