Looking back on myself as a child, I know I was destined for this career because:   Have you met my dad??

The thing about my job that challenges me is: So far, learning RCC


When I’m zoned out in front of my computer and should be thinking about work, what I’m really thinking is: What my next meal is going to be- I really like to eat.

My career defining moment: When I tutored high school students who had failed the graduation exam and then they all passed on their next attempt because of my help! It made me realize that I love the feeling of gratification I get from helping people.

My most unusual job was: Carousel attendant at a local mall

The only time I deserved to be fired was:   When I stole some pine cones out of my sister’s basket and put them in mine.

The most recent book, CD or movie I’ve purchased is:  CD: Fleetwood Mac- Rumours, Book: Southern Vampire Series by Charlaine Harris )

My favorite quote or saying:  “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link” oh and of course, “Roll Tide!”

How would you describe your job to a four year old? I use a computer and a phone to help solve people’s problems.
