Have you met Kailie Holloway? She’s VBA’s Human Resources Generalist, and is a key person in helping us handle a wide range of daily operations, policies, procedures, and programs. Here’s your chance to really get to know her:
- How long have you been at VBA? On May 4th it was six 6 months.
- What about VBA inspires you? I love the company’s overall mission. It’s not everyday you get to work for a company where their main goal and focus is to help people and help them better their lives.
- What in your personal life inspires you? Soccer and me pushing myself to be a better person everyday.
- What is the most challenging aspect about your role? Knowing the difference between jumping right in and helping people and stopping briefly to give or have a “tough love” mentality.
- What do you like the most about your position and the least? I love being able to answer people’s questions and help them when they need it. It’s not my favorite thing to do to have more stern talks with people regarding performance, pay, etc.
- If you weren’t at the office, what would you be doing instead? Probably still something in HR.
- How do you define success? Pushing yourself to never be complacent and continue to grow every day no matter what.
- What three books would we find on your bookshelf at home? I have quite a few books on my shelf but I have the entire Mortal Instruments series. (6 books total).
- How has outside knowledge or experiences prepared you for this role? Life in general is unpredictable. You have to be able to roll with the punches and be able to get back up when you get knocked down. Businesses can operate in the same way – just have to know how to rebound from it all.
- If you could pick one person to travel the world with, who would it be? My best friend, Mikayla. She’s an amazing soul and I know we’d have so much fun doing it.
- Who is your personal hero and why? My dad. He always taught me to never give up and strive for the things I want in life.
