Get ready for another stellar Teammate Tuesday! Today we are highlighting a shining star; Molly 🩷
Molly has been part of our team for four months and brings a bright spirit to the front desk. She loves her coworkers, she says they bring the energy she needs to finish her shift. Her go to Spare Time meal is the classic cheeseburger with fries. And if you catch her in the arcade, she’ll be playing air hockey!
Outside of work, Molly enjoys reading, going to the movies and going to concerts- her go karaoke song is Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’. Her favorite thing to do in Greensboro is going to the North Carolina Folk Fest every September, she plays an instrument as well! The violin, which she’s been playing for 10 years. If she could have any super power it would be teleportation! That way she can go anywhere in the world, including her dream vacation spot in Scotland.
Thank you, Molly, for being a part of the Spare Time Team!
