Meet the MyCorp Team… Valerie!

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Every Wednesday, we’ll be highlighting a member of our MyCorporation family tree- check in with us every week to meet the team here at MyCorp!

Name: Valerie

Job title: Executive Admin.

What I do all day at work: I have tasks given to me by Debbie, Dana and Talia so I do a little bit of everything during the day or whatever needs to be done asap.

Food I can’t live without: SUSHI!

Biggest inspiration: My Grandma and Mom inspire me to be strong and taught me to be independent. They showed me that I can overcome any obstacle I have came across and will continue to come across.

5 words to describe me: independent, sarcastic, OCD, thoughtful and I don’t know just Valerie… haha!

If I were a dinosaur, I’d be: the one that can fly (pterodactyl) because who doesn’t want to feel free and fly away?

What I love about being on the MyCorp team: the atmosphere and the position I have. We work around great people have such an understanding boss, supervisors, managers and they all want the best for you.
