Meet The Team: Cheryl E.
BACKGROUND WITH CAREER:
"As a purchasing administrator for an IT organization, I am always thinking of keeping costs low and being timely with any deliveries for clients, ensuring their software is up to date and their hardware warranties are in place.
I have seen clients experience the importance of renewing warranties on critical hardware and renewing software licenses to keep their business running. We all now rely heavily on technology in so many ways, myself included as I am always looking for ways to automate and streamline functions within the purchasing process. In purchasing, you need to be flexible and adjust to the demands to be successful."
MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:
"Having a sense of urgency and being responsive. Our clients rely on us to keep their systems operating smoothly and expecting us to be available should any issues arise."
FAVORITE TECH DEVICE AND WHY?
"Fitbit because I am obsessed with trying to stay physically fit. Every movement counts! It’s a great day when 10K steps are surpassed. One weekend doing an outdoor house project got over 20K steps!! So, the Fitbit is a constant reminder to keep moving."
WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPERPOWER BE?
"Tele-transporting! Could be anywhere in seconds. Am looking forward to self-driving cars!!"
HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED
DURING THE PANDEMIC?
"Remote working was an adjustment at first, but now I’m enjoying the benefits of feeling less stressed from rushing to get home to take care of a family. We are lucky our kids are very independent and focused (wonder where that comes from??) so they quickly adapted to distance learning with minimal supervision. We just assisted our teens with creating structure and checking in from time to time to stay involved."
FUN FACTS:
"Sewing was a hobby of the past (created my own prom dress, created dresses/outfits for friends, fixed kids clothes) so dusted off the sewing machine to make face coverings for the family."
"Appreciate watching cooking/home improvement shows to get inspiration"
"During family vacations, we would seek out restaurants to try from Diners Drive-Ins Dives show!"
"And we are always working on our home (isn’t everybody?) so need to see that, yes, home improvements can be done in a weekend! LOL"
WE ARE PROUD TO BE
