How long have you been at Agility?
I have been at Agility for a year and a half.
What is your role and what team are you part of at Agility?
My role is Director of Account Management.
What’s your favorite thing about working at Agility?
My team is the best part of working at Agility! I feel very fortunate to work alongside so many talented, committed, fun, and hardworking individuals. They come every day ready to give their absolute best to our customers, Agility, and each other.
Do you have any advice for new employees starting at Agility?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions! I would suggest asking to join teammates calls to continue to learn and develop your skillset.
What are some skills you’ve gained working at Agility?
Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions 😉
What’s your favorite digital tool to use at work?
I have a love-hate relationship with Salesforce. I’m not sure if favorite would be the right word but I spend a ton of time using it as an Account Manager.
Slack is surely my actual favorite! With the Account Management team spread across the UK, Canada, and US it is a great way to keep us all connected.
What’s your favorite work snack or beverage?
Coffee is my favorite drink, and popcorn is my snack of choice.

How do you stay connected with your coworkers while remote?
We use Slack primarily, but we also have a monthly account management team building session. Each month we hold a team ‘coffee talk’ where the host is a team member, and the game or topics of the session is owned by them. We have done everything from escape rooms to costume contests to emoji Pictionary. It’s a great way to decompress and have a good laugh together.
What’s your favorite after-work or weekend activity?
I love spending time with my family, traveling, and riding horses.

What’s the best part of your day?
The highlight of my day is when my five-year-old comes home from school and gives me a ‘monster hug’.
