Karina Rangel has been working at MacFarlane Pheasants, Inc. since October of 2016. She was hired as a temporary employee, but by January of 2017, she was officially hired as an administrative assistant. We were so pleased to add a talented and bilingual employee to our office staff! Please enjoy our recent blog post explaining how helpful it is to have a bilingual employee on staff.
In addition to interpreting for employees and customers, when necessary, Karina helps the rest of the office staff by answering the phone, keeping track of inventory, ordering products for the store, keeping it neat and tidy, and assisting customers. She also helps with gift packs, assigning purchase orders, keeps track of the daily in/out board, takes orders, creates the health certificates and makes sure payments are all caught up. Karina’s work schedule is Tuesday-Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm and Saturdays’s 10 am to 3 pm. You wouldn’t think she would have much time for anything else!
But alas, Karina has many interests. She enjoys reading, hiking, traveling, photography, and spending time with her fiancé. “I am currently reading Winesburg Ohio for the second time and enjoying it just as much as the first time,” she said. The book is a collection of short stories about life in a small town at the end of the nineteenth century. It doesn’t surprise me to find out that Karina has scholarly interests. She is so enthusiastic about life.
After finishing one year at San Diego State University with a major in psychology and a minor in Spanish, Karina left college for the work world. She has worked as a marketing manager at Old Navy and as a dental assistant in San Francisco, California. She enjoys her work at MacFarlane Pheasants and though she hopes to return to college at some point she tells us she is very happy where she is right now!
One of Karina’s favorite things about MacFarlane Pheasants is that every day brings something different. “Some days are chaotic, some days are not so much, but every day there is something new going on. It’s definitely a fast-paced job and I love it, “she said.
Thanks for sharing Karina. It is a pleasure to have you working at MacFarlane Pheasants.
