Favorite part about your jobs?
Being the face of the company and getting to attend all of the events that we sponsor. My boss is very active in the community and as a result, we get to support a lot of really great organizations. It feels good to work for a company that gives back so much. That’s where my role will come in handy at my coffee shop - having this background and experience in marketing and community relations.
How do you manage stress?
Music, prayer, and me-time. I know that if I am constantly stressing out or wound too tight, that even though it's tough - taking time for me is essential. Being out in nature also helps bring perspective to how small I really am, what's really going on, and how small my problems really are.
What is one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in the workplace, and how’d you overcome it?
Time management of others' schedules when I need to meet a deadline for a proposal or project. The best way to handle this issue is through regularly communicating with my team. I now know to speak up and stay organized with everyone's schedules, so collaborative projects get done a lot more smoothly.
