If you hear a voice echoing through the building, don’t worry — that’s just Meagan doing her thing. The loudest (and proudest) burst of energy in the office, she’s been with us for 3 years and has done it all: warehouse work, office work, and somehow keeping us all awake without caffeine. Meagan handles post-sales inquiries, data entry, order confirmations, and more tasks than we can list without needing a second page. She learns fast, jumps in wherever she’s needed, and brings a whole lot of fun to the team. Simply put: the office wouldn’t be the same without her — or nearly as lively.
