The success of any company is inherently related to its people; talented individuals are needed in order for a company to grow, and finding the right people is key. That’s where Abby, one of the hard-working team members from the TakeLessons Recruiting department, comes in. Abby’s job is to interview potential music teachers to make sure they are the right fit for TakeLessons. She’s also our unofficial office photographer and social planner!
Tell us your favorite thing about working at TakeLessons.
TakeLessons has become much more than job for me. It truly has become my family. In the short months that I’ve been here, I’ve made friendships that I know are going to last a lifetime and I feel exceptionally proud to come to work every day! I know that the work I’m doing and the work that my teammates are doing around me is helping to change peoples’ lives for the better. Music is so inspirational! To know that I am impacting the way that someone sees the world is just mind blowing and it makes me feel incredible!
Do you have any musical experience or play any instruments?
I am a vocalist. I have studied privately for a number of years, participated in many local choirs, and musicals, and even traveled to China and Hong Kong to sing! Most recently I began taking guitar lessons to further my passion for music!
What are your activities outside of work?
I enjoy running, hiking, and sun bathing! I love spending time with my friends and family and just laughing! I have a HUGE place in my heart for all animals, particularly dogs, and more specifically pugs! I have a pug named Lucy and it’s a favorite pastime of mine to see her running and exercising and playing with all her canine friends!
What is your favorite thing about living in San Diego?
My favorite thing about living in San Diego is the opportunity it has provided for me to spread my wings and expand my horizons. Professionally and personally!
What are one professional goal and one personal goal that you hope to achieve this year?
One professional goal of mine is to go above and beyond the expectations set for me each and every day. And a personal goal of mine is to get in the ocean and up on a surf board despite my fear of the water!
