She is welcoming, and knows her job well. She always goes above and beyond for everyone she meets. Being a new NMC employee was a bit scary, and she was one of the first to make me feel at home. She goes out of her way to shovel a sidewalk, or clean off a car, just to be a friend. Her knowledge of her job, and stories of the past are always an interesting break from an otherwise hectic day.
