The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential employees to the front lines. In response, people have come up with many creative ways to express their gratitude, such as lighting iconic buildings in bright blue and showering workers with flower petals.
Ariella Sharf, who graduated from Northeastern with a Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2015 and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Project Management from CPS, has helped develop another way to thank those on the front lines: 6FTCloser, a website that collects nominations and delivers personalized thank-you messages to essential workers.
