***Where did you grow up?***

I grew up in Jonesboro AR for the most part; however, we moved around a lot, so I’ve lived in several different towns/states.

***Where did you go to school?***

Although I attended Nettleton and Westside both for a year each, I graduated from Jonesboro High.

***Brag about your family.***

We have 4 girls and 3 boys along with 11 grandchildren that consist of 6 girls and 5 boys. Our kids and grandkids are our world. We are so proud of each one of them and love spending as much time as possible with them all.

***What do you do for fun?***

Play with my grandkids of course lol. We love going to ball games every chance we get. 

***What was your first job?***

My first real job was working as a cashier at Hays Warehouse.

***What is your dream job?***

I do not know that I have a dream job. When my children were younger, I was a stay-at-home mom. I would have to say that was the best job I have ever had.

***What is something very few people know about you?***

I am very transparent so there is not much about me that everyone does not already know. I lived on the island of Maui for a year. I have a poem published in 2 different books called God’s Plan. I’ll share it with you.

*I was once told that as time goes by everything changes with no reason why.*

*Explanations we won’t receive, we’re just told we must believe.*

*The Lord has a plan for each of us. This I believe – This I trust.*

*Doctor – lawyer – teacher – wife, Lord what’s your plan for my life?*

*Explanations I don’t expect, just some guidance down the right track.*

*Show me Lord your plan for me. I ask this of you while on my knees.*

*Praying to you helps me to see, the wonderful plan you have for me.*

*The Lord has a plan for each of us. This I believe – This I trust.*

***What quote/motto do you live by?***

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel. -Maya Angelou

***Tell us your Optus story.  When did you start and what position?  Have you moved positions/jobs?***

I started in May of 2012 in purchasing. My main objective at the time was to buy used phone systems and equipment for resale. In Feb 2014, I moved to the service department. I worked on the service delivery team known as SAT back then. In April 2015, I was promoted to SAT Supervisor. In May 2017, I transferred to the accounting department where I still reside.

***What is your official job title?***

Invoicing Coordinator

***What SHOULD your job title be?***

Anything invoicing with a little SST tax and a bit of reporting thrown in.

***Describe your day-to-day job.***

Day to day consists of invoicing service cases and processing vendor invoices for payment on those cases. This along with anything else that pops up that I can assist with.

***What is one thing that Optus does better than any other employer you have had in the past?***

The family atmosphere. The group of ladies I work with in accounting are truly more than co-workers to me. They are family! The open-door policy regardless of title. I can pop my head in and ask a question to our COO just like I can my co-workers.

***Tell us about one learning or growth opportunity you have had while working at Optus.***

I have had many learning opportunities since I began working at Optus. Before Optus, I thought a phone was just something you pick up and dial. Little did I know about the components that go into making that phone work. I have learned a bit of excel as well after moving to accounting. Although I am still learning about excel, I can now create reports and dig into the data to report back to my boss with the trends I see.

***What do you like most about working at Optus?***

My team! I also like making a difference for our customers and our vendors. I feel I have done that since moving to accounting.

***Have you received recognition from Optus on a job well done?  If so, what was the recognition?***

I received the Leader Star award for 3rd quarter of 2015.  I received the Star award for the 1st quarter of 2018 and then again in the 4th quarter of 2020.

***We like to say, Optus is like a family.  Who at Optus is like family to you and why?***

I would have to say my team. These girls have been there to cheer me on and support me no matter what.
