1. How long have you been using Meals Plus?
I have been using the Meals Plus software program for over 3 years in my current position.
2. What duties and responsibilities does your position entail?
It is a very customer service oriented position as it not only involves processing, verification, archiving and the filing of lunch applications, but it also involves assisting parents by phone and in person which helps to make the lunch application process very simple and painless.
3. What aspects of your position do you enjoy the most?
I love helping people. In my conversations, displaying the qualities of kindness and respect go a long way to keeping the lines of communication open. In most cases I find that just listening to a person and allowing them to speak and express themselves enables me to figure out what steps to take and how to proceed to resolve the issues presented.
4. What do you like to do in your free time?
I am a Minister and a full time evangelizer, so my free time when I am not working is used to help people learn about God through the pages of his word, The Bible. I also love spending time with family and friends and when possible, I enjoy driving to the beach. I find it very relaxing just closing my eyes and listening to the waves and breathing in the sea air. It brings back memories of my childhood in New York.
5. What is your favorite “like” about Meals Plus and/or how has it helped your operations?
It is the overall program and the assistance that I have received when calling in for help; it gives me confidence in the program and its abilities. It ultimately makes my job easier when everything functions and works efficiently. It allows me to concentrate on other aspects of my job responsibilities.
