Over four years!

My team! My coworkers have truly become my friends, and I enjoy working with all of them. And I definitely love all of our carry-in lunches, especially anything Mel Nussbaum bakes!

3. Favorite memory at Jarrett so far?

Baking Oreo™ fudge and peanut butter fudge for Christmas and taking some in for my coworkers! I got my family involved in making the fudge which was a ton of fun and it was a great opportunity to surprise my coworkers with one of my favorite holiday treats!

6. Who has been a mentor for you here at Jarrett? How have they helped you?

Matt Wagner and Joe Buss.
