10 Questions with Bridgette Michaud
- How long have you been with Koss Olinger and what is your role? I started at Koss Olinger in May of this year. I am an Operations Specialist and provide a supportive role for our service team.
- Where did you grow up? I grew up in Tampa and moved to Gainesville once I started my education at the University of Florida.
- Do you have any pets? If yes, tell us about them. Yes, I have one dog named Nova. She was initially only supposed to stay with me until a more permanent home was found for her. However, it has been over three years now, so I think she is mine to keep. She’s the best dog I could have asked for. She loves long naps and Starbucks Puppuccinos.
- What is something people would find surprising to learn about you? I had to get my tonsils removed twice because they grew back after having them removed the first time. I would like to imagine that I possess that same regenerative ability for other body parts, but I’m not willing to test that theory anytime soon.
- What do you consider your best quality? My ability to empathize and communicate.
- If you could have dinner with one famous person from history who would it be and why? Leonardo da Vinci because he had such a wide range of talents. I’m sure the conversation would never turn stale.
- What is the best advice you ever received? You can’t pour from any empty cup.
- What is your super power? I can fly. I need a whole fleet of highly trained people and a plane to do it, but I swear I can.
- What is your favorite food? French onion soup on a cold day.
- What do you think is your biggest contribution to the Koss Olinger team? My positivity, ability to work well on a team, and collaborative nature.
