鈥滿eet the 探花楼 Staff" is an occasional Connect feature. It鈥檚 one way for members to get to know some of the folks hard at work in the 探花楼 office. Another way? Come see us in D.C. 鈥 we鈥檒l roll out the welcome mat for you!
What did you do before you joined the 探花楼 team?
Before working at 探花楼, I worked in the hospitality department of a career uniform company. Before that, I used to manage an office complex.
What do you do in your day to day?
I've been working at 探花楼 for about six years. In my role, I respond to customer service emails for 探花楼 International Education Services, answering questions about applications status, how to apply and other inquiries.
What do you like most about working for 探花楼?
I love the opportunity to work remotely, and create my own quiet work environment. Even though it can be busy, I enjoy being able to work from home and staying near my family. I love working with everyone on the 探花楼 IES staff. Dale is a great boss, and he is very laid-back.
What do you have planned for the fall?
While it's October and getting cooler in other states, it's still 82 degrees down in the Sunshine State! Around this time, I start looking forward to the holidays and spending time with my family. This Thanksgiving, I'm taking a Caribbean cruise with my family. We're going to Grand Turk and the Dominican Republic.
What do you like doing in your free time?
My husband thinks I鈥檓 a wonderful cook. I cook pretty much anything, be it soul, Latin, or Caribbean. I love jazz and gospel music and occasionally going to live shows. I鈥檓 also an avid churchgoer.
I spend a lot of free time with my family. I have a husband of almost five years and a 28-year-old son.
