hi Darren boy that's a good pretty good so thanks for taking some time stand down and answering some
questions with me so to start tell me a little bit about yourself well I am going to be 29 years
old next month I am Steve's sister-in-law not his wife um I really enjoy just watching movies and TV
and I really like yard sailing and crafting and just repurposing things you are a very DIY kind
of girl so what did you do before this I actually worked several years in retail I was a department
supervisor high school what made you want to leave that job and join the IBC global team um well I
didn't really want to but Steve was starting to feel a little busier at that point and he
only had one other assistant who pretty much did everything your mother so he really wanted me to
handle the spreadsheets for him because that was a lot of just a lot of tedious we're gonna took a
lot of time so he convinced me and I started doing that and then just kind of escalated from there
when he built this office up he ended up meeting more help so I became you know an administrative
assistant and then as things grew I and your mom left I kind of like took over her role as kind of
like an office manager background HR type stuff so all right we're glad you're here what is your
average workday consist of um I answer a lot a male's I help and send info to agents who are
interested in working with us I do some more of the complicated spreadsheets loan scenarios and
things like that and right now I'm working on the new website just kind of like working on
the design and making sure the content is all correct and then it flows nice and so you do a
loan and then also all the employee back-end stuff as well yeah yeah and oh no the trackers yeah and
it's just trying to come up with ways that we can all just work more efficiently together especially
other things grow in case it's changing so much absolutely so what are the challenges of what
you do because I'm sure you have a lot that you have to do in today yeah um well talking on the
phone it doesn't happen often but I really really don't like it and I just yeah I really struggle
with that so email me also just dealing with the growth in the office it just it changes a lot
it changes the dynamic it changes people's roles especially with hiring new people and having more
agents and just just having more to deal with it's definitely a challenge to make sure that everyone
stays organized and everyone has their own job to do they know what they're doing and just we
all interact with each other efficiently it's definitely a challenge but it's it's really fun
to work out so I enjoy it Justin what do you love about your job um probably just the organization I
have the you know freedom to create trackers and just keep all the files organized and everything
and I just I really love that and I also I don't love the environment I love everyone here we all
get along really well I think we work really well together in the environment so we it's just you
know it's it's professional and organized and we all get our jobs done but at the same time
we just have a really good time doing it yeah I agree so do you have any advice for someone
who may be in a similar situation as yourself oh well I yeah I mean I started out working
retail it's obviously not what I wanted to do my dream job was to work in an office and file and
do the kind of like you know office manager type stuff and I just I kept looking around
I didn't really see anything but that fit what I wanted really so I just kind of stuck it out and I
mean it ended up working out for me but I would just say if you really do want to do something
specific just wait it might take a little bit longer but as long as you as long as you keep
looking for it and you really stick to like yes this is what I want to do you'll be able to find
something awesome well thanks so much Derek for taking the time out of your busy schedule
