How long have you worked at Smith System?

I've been with the company now for about 4 years.

What are some of your favorite aspects of your job?

I like the people, it's great to meet so many different characters. I love my team, they are awesome. I also like the excitement of the job.

What is the most challenging aspect of your job?

My biggest challenge is navigating different personality types. I tend to be very energetic and animated, so I have to make sure I am collaborating and supervising in a manner that meshes well with everyone.

What's a tool you cannot go without at work?

My leads, and I know they aren't technically a tool but they are a huge resource. The knowledge they bring to the table is tremendous, they know what it takes to keep our line running smoothly. It's also important to have access to my computer to see what's been pulled, and not pulled.

Now it’s time for some fun questions! Halloween is right around the corner, what's your favorite scary movie?

Oh no. I don't do scary movies. Once a blue moon I will watch one, but I don't have a favorite.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

Africa for many reasons, it would be amazing to experience the culture.

What's one thing you could never live without?

Jesus. My faith comes first.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Crafting, is my favorite pass time. I love making these wreaths during the holidays. Cooking and watching football with my family is also important to me.
