Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: I’m a busy mom, and I enjoy spending time with my four girls, the oldest being 8. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends. A fun fact about me is that I’m a big karaoke fan!
Q: Tell us about your specific role at Fuchs.
A: When I started at Fuchs, I was a 2nd shift mixing operator. Now, I’m also a certified forklift driver and enjoy learning about each role in the mixing area. I hope to be an expert in each very soon!

A: I love coming to work. Every day I look forward to working with my co-workers. We have a very close bond which allows us to work together well as a team. I really enjoy working alongside my supervisor, Larry!
Q: What goals do you have for yourself this year?
A: One of my professional goals would be to become a control room operator, which I am currently working towards. I also want to better understand the procedures of the oil room, so that I am fully trained and equipped in all aspects of the area in which I work. Finally, I would also like to learn other areas of the business and have the ability to switch departments to allow more flexibility within the workplace.
Outside of work, I want to teach my four daughters that anything is possible and that they can achieve anything, even if someone says they can’t.
Q: What’s your favorite food?
A: A nice medium well steak!
