What is your job title/your role at Scottish Rite for Children?
My role is an Environmental Services assistant.
What do you do on a daily basis or what sort of duties do you have at work?
Making other people happy while doing my work to clean offices and other hospital areas.
What was your first job? What path did you take to get here or what led you to Scottish Rite?
My first job was at a Dairy Queen serving customers. When I came to Scottish Rite, I was working at a hotel. I had been praying for a job I liked better, and this opportunity came up to answer my prayers. I’ve been here 18 years. I’ve loved my time and looking forward to hitting 20 years soon!
What do you enjoy most about Scottish Rite?
The children – seeing them and talking to them makes you feel so good. If the kids can handle and get through what they are going through, I know I can, too. And I love making other people happy. I really do think a smile can go a long way.
Tell us something about your job that others might not already know?
I think people don’t know about how connected I am to the people who use and work in the spaces I take care of each day. Making sure offices and spaces are tidy and well-maintained helps everyone do a better job, and I’m very proud of that.
Where is the most interesting place you’ve been?
It’s maybe not the most interesting but it is my favorite place to visit – it’s my church. I love Sunday School, and just like I love to connect with people here at Scottish Rite, I really enjoy connecting with my church family.
What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?
I like watching tennis and basketball. I like football, too, but mainly when my team wins. I also like watching wrestling.
If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?
I don’t want to go back in time. I like being in the present and looking forward to the future and being happy.
What’s one fun fact about yourself?
I love shoes and jewelry! And I love to shop.
