The
Employee of the Quarter can best be considered as a little lady with a
big voice, as someone who possesses a heart of gold and a goofy sense of
humor, a person who is a true team player as-well-as a good friend, and
an individual who earns the respect and smiles of her fellow workers on
a weekly, if not daily. A true gem in Finance Division’s crown, Frances
Olaivar-VanderYacht.
Here is
what some of her coworkers had to say about Frances:
- She
is not only a great co worker, but a valuable friend. Always by your
side with an open heart and open mind, ready to help you deal with
whatever life throws your way. Time and time again, she can be
counted on for solid advice and priceless words of wisdom.
- She
is one who is not afraid to learn and take on new tasks. When we
lost one of our former bond analysts, she stepped up to take on the
Single Family bonds. Much has changed and things continue to change
--- so exploring, learning, and researching is what she has done and
continues to do. She will give her time and energy to finish jobs;
staying very late nights as necessary to meet the excruciating
deadlines in our department.
- She
is always willing to lend a hand to other folks that might need
help. Always looking for a way to support the team as a whole. She
is generous with her time and food!
Yes,
Frances is truly dedicated to getting the job done, all the while seeing
the value of levity in the otherwise routine, cyclical world of
accounting. Frances is valued by her peers not only for her strong work
ethic, but for her wisdom and camaraderie.
