YP Spotlight YP Spotlight that I think they know mostly everything about me already. I remember when I first started working they were really surprised to find out I had 10 pet bunnies that were all house trained and taken for walks outside on their leashes. What is one thing that you think is just “golden,” wonderful or exciting? Hearing the opening notes to your favorite song, especially when it is being played live. What do you value most about OGR? The thing that I value most about OGR is that it stands to remind others of the rule that most people were taught from a young age. Treating others as you would want to be treated is something that is so instilled in every person from the time they are in primary school. I know by being a member of OGR it shows the families we serve that we would treat them as we would our own Allie at an adoption event at her local animal shelter (photo provided) to do what makes us happy and be ourselves. Both of them were extremely supportive of me when I went to college and encouraged me to stay driven, work hard and be the best I can be. I know they are always there if I need someone to talk to and they always have the perfect advice no matter the situation. My grandmothers are both so compassionate to others and nonjudgmental, and I aspire to be half the person they are. What is your favorite phone app? The only thing I really like my phone for is to stay in touch with my friends and family because I relocated quite a distance away from them all when I started to work with Leete-Stevens. But I think my favorite work-related app is a PDF scanner. It comes in handy a lot. What is one thing your peers would be surprised to know about you? I really don't know what my peers would be surprised to know about me. We are with one another so much 18 www.ogr.org | Winter 2022 family. Since becoming licensed, I've experienced the loss of both of my grandfathers and I told my family I wished to care for both of them because no one would treat them the way that I would as their granddaughter, but it was during that time I realized that this is the moral that should be upheld for every family I work with. They should know their loved one is in good hands and will be respected and cared for just as I would respect and care for my own family members. I value that OGR implements this level of practice and code of ethics for the funeral homes that are involved with their organization. The organization as a whole tries to ‘follow the Golden Rule.’ What other words do you try to live by? The two "mantras" I try to live my life by are 'In everything you do, do it with a grateful heart' and 'You are never given more than you can handle.'
