KeyTrust Properties
How long have you been in your current position?
I’ve been with KeyTrust Properties for 4 years in March.
I’ve been an office manager in the real estate field
for thirteen years.
What is your favorite thing about your job?
Doing what you love and enjoying it. I love my job.
Is there something that stands out as a special memory?
Some people do not understand the loss of a pet but it is truly
painful. When my Yorkie, Chloe, passed away three years ago,
my KeyTrust Properties family was so compassionate
and there for me. Chloe was with me for 13 1/2 years.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
My parents instilled in me at an early age, be kind, thankful,
and make a difference in someone’s day.

Canton Academy
How long have you been in your current position?
I have worked at Canton Academy for the past 13 years
and I have been in the role as the head administrative assistant
for the last 9 years.
What is your favorite thing about your job?
My favorite thing about the job is that every day is different!
I love it because it keeps me on my toes.
Is there something that stands out as a special memory?
So after pondering that one special moment question–
I have really tried to narrow it down. But for me, I think my
most special moments happen in the quiet of the day–a letter in
the mail or my inbox thanking me for what I do; a simple hug or
smile from a parent or student after just listening to their concerns;
flowers dropped by the office, Christmas goodies, and all those
yummy treats brought by the office throughout the year. I love
and thank everyone for the great and wonderful special moments.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
A wise old man once told me as he was leading our school,
“Always have a back up plan for a back up plan.”
