- What drew you to Hoyle, Tanner originally?
- Well, I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years raising my children and had just completed my first degree. I applied at a temp agency and then received a call that they needed help for a couple of days… 11 years later and here I am [chuckles].
- What do you like most about working at Hoyle, Tanner?
- I love working for Hoyle, Tanner… we are a solid company. We have a good reputation and that is something that I am proud to be part of. Also coming from a non-engineering background, I have really grown to like the engineering industry especially our private clients – they are all great people.
- Can you talk about a favorite memory or proudest moment here?
- My proudest moment would probably be, when Bill Davidson became the profit center manager and our office was able to shift gears profitability wise after the recession – it finally felt like we had a strong team. I also have an ‘I Told You So’ moment… when Chris Mulleavey was appointed President because I knew years ago he was working to make a difference here.
- What is your favorite pastimes outside the office?
- Spending time up north and snowmobiling with my husband Chris, as well as spending time with my three children and my two amazing grandsons. I also love wood burning.
- If you were stuck on an island what three things would you bring?
- My family, snow (because everything is better in snow) and my husband’s tools… tools you ask?! Yes my husband is a jack-of-all-trades and has a huge collection of tools from just about every skill there is. This way he could use them to build or make me ANYTHING that I may need.
- People would be surprised if they knew?
- My husband and I were high school sweethearts, we met at 15 and have been together for 30 years, and married for 24. I am also a 42 year old grandmother (Gigi) of 2!
- Do you have a motto or personal mantra?
- Yes, – Do it with passion or don’t do it at all.
- What did you want to be growing up?
- I wanted to own an orphanage to help children.
- If given the chance, who would you like to be for a day?
- God is the only “who” I can think of. Being God would allow me to bring my brother back – I miss him terribly.
- If you won the lottery today, what would be the first thing you would buy?
- A one-way ticket to ALASKA!
