Kim Poole
Customer Service Department –Ìý St. Joseph, Michigan
I amÌýa customer service representative at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ – St. Joseph. I had never worked in the printing industry before ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, and I have been at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ since November of 2018.
In my position, I help onboard new customers and work with current customers to guide them from uploading files to shipping. I also manage fulfillment for customers by placing orders and returns.
I workedÌýat an advertising agency, and a friend recommended that I apply to ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ when I lost my job. I always worked on the front end of writing publications and sending to print, and now I am on the back end at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ.
The coolest thing about this job isÌýseeing the finished product. We print some really cool publications, like D&D.
If I had a personalized coffee mug at work, it would say, “Don’t mess with mama bear’s cubsâ€
My favorite thing to do right now isÌýto watch my son play football and baseball and my daughter play softball, do cheer and acting. I love to help with their teams.
A fun fact about me isÌýI am a huge baseball fan and went to Detroit Tigers fantasy camp.
I haveÌýbeen married for 23 years. I have a 17-year-old son and a soon-to-be-13-year-old daughter. I have two, short-haired, German hunting dogs, Maggie (12) and Ellie (four).
I amÌýthe company chair for United Way. I am also a cancer survivor, so I like helping different organizations raise money, like Berrien County Cancer Service & Pennies from Heaven (a friend’s non-profit group for young people with cancer).
What makes me want to come to work every dayÌýisÌýmy co-workers.
One of my favorite memories at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ isÌýthe great time we had at our 85th Anniversary party and mingling with other departments.
All of the improvements going onÌýin the company make me feel like ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ will be around for a long time.
