Karin Ryan has worked alongside former US President Jimmy Carter for more than 30 years.
She's been most touched by his faith in the goodness of others and his unwavering commitment to peace.
He has high expectations and has always been more demanding of those closest to him.

In my more than 30 years of working with former US President Jimmy Carter, I've been most touched by his deep faith in people — his belief that, given the chance, everyone has the capacity for good.
