Kelly O.
Start Date: 08/16/2016
Title: Administrative Assistant - Sales Support
Education: Bachelor of Science from Rasmussen College
Favorite Vacation Spot: I was recently lucky enough to spend two weeks in Ireland, touring
the coastline. It is difficult to say what was the most pleasurable, the scenery, the people,
or the food. It was a great vacation and as a result, Ireland now occupies my top pick for
vacation experiences.
Favorite Food: My favorite food is anything made with both skill and love. If a skilled
cook prepares a great meal with both quality ingredients and attention to detail, it is
bound to be delicious.
Favorite Movie: I like any movie that provides an escape from daily life and can evoke
genuine laughter. A little adventure mixed in is welcomed. The list is expansive, but I will
pick just a few to mention here. With that in mind, I enjoy classic films like The Goonies,
as well as Sherlock Holmes, never Bond films, and of course Office Space.
Special Interests/Hobbies/Talents: I enjoy spending time in my yard. I tend to get
gardening or landscaping ideas in my head at least once a year and am compelled
to act upon it. Spending time in the sun, getting dirty, is a great way to relax while
simultaneously feeling productive. Sadly, in Minnesota, my window of opportunity is
short for such activities. On the bright side, I have the entire winter to plan the next
year’s botanical adventures.
