How long you’ve been working / how’d you get started?

I’ve been employed by TALK for a couple of years. I’ve consistently had project management and administrative type roles in my career. My type A personality enjoys being background support to the bigger vision. I was looking to switch from part time to full time and a mutual friend connected me with the owners. The rest is history!

Best part about your job?

I love that I get to be a part of making a difference in children’s lives. My favorite is when a parent tells me they heard their child say their name for the first time. 

Interesting fact about yourself?

I tend to say, “I’ll never do (blank)” and usually end up doing whatever it is I said I wouldn’t do! It’s as if the universe sees it as a challenge (or I’m not good at saying no). Either way, I end up growing in new ways and have yet to regret it.

Favorite local place to eat?

So many to choose from! Tower 13 is always great for some good food and a cocktail while catching the sunset.

Why do you enjoy being a part of a cowork environment (at BLOC)?

BLOC was a game changer. I’ve always worked in a office but when we moved my only option to stay on with my company was to work remotely. I wasn’t getting to meet new people in a new town working from my home all day. I’m too much of an extrovert! I also need to be around the energy an office setting provides. The great decor, ocean view and provided beverages are a total bonus!
