What’s your favorite thing about working at FastModel?

[K] It’s a really cool company! When I started, this job was a career change for me and that was scary in itself, but the company adapted and worked with me to see my potential. I never thought I would be able to do things, like traveling to go see conferences for the Final Four. It’s been a fun company to work for and we have some pretty amazing people working here!

With COVID, you have been able to help in other departments. Which has been the most interesting so far?

[K] Helping the support team with keeping up with our clients licenses.

What’s your best office story?

Thank you Katie for making our office a home!
