Role call, and welcome new members!

Posted by Sunni Hemingsen @sunnihemingsen, Apr 20, 2018

Happy Friday, everyone! I've noticed a number of new followers in the past week or so. Welcome! How about a role call to introduce ourselves?
Where you're working, where you're from, one question for others, and one surprising/interesting fact about yourself.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the New Employee Connections group.

Welcome, @andreacosta1988! I'm in Rochester but have visited the Arizona sites twice -- it's such a nice area.

My family just visited Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach earlier this month. It was the first time our kids (7 and 13) and I had been in California, though my husband's been to San Diego and LA before. How old are your children?

Welcome, @shcason! Good luck with your upcoming move.

I'm in Rochester and have just visited Phoenix twice (quick trips), so hopefully one of our Arizona friends can recommend some activities for your eight-year-old.

Cool fact about you (being born in England and raised in Holland). We have some world travelers who post in the Travel discussion group; you may be able to add your insights to a thread there, https://connect.employees.mayo.edu/group/travel-20c50c/.

That’s awesome! I definitely miss the beaches. It’s a big adjustment but I’m enjoying it so far. I have 4 boys, 10,9, 4 & 2. I am a very busy mother as you can imagine, but it’s always an adventure with them.

Hi Treasure! Miss you! 🙂
I probably have too many hobbies to list, but here are some: music/concerts, reading, walking/running, traveling and I love hanging with friends over a nice glass of wine or a good IPA!

Welcome @shcason ! I do not have children, but my friends that have kids love our water parks. They are open now (a little early) through the fall. I love The Phoenix Zoo and Wildlife World Zoo. There are fun things there for children as well! We also have Odysea and Butterfly World that I like and I think kids would, too! Sorry I cannot speak to a whole lot more than that! 🙂

Hi @thamernik!! Thank you for the suggestions. I'm sure the waterpark and zoo will be our favorite hangout 🙂

Hi! My name is Jana and I moved here from Austin Texas. I look forward to joining you all as soon as this feeling of overwhelming subsides! 🙂

I'm at Mayo's Rochester location.

Hannah Trubica | @roseangel45 | May 7, 2018

Hello!
My name is Hannah and I am a new hire at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville in Florida! I'm starting as a Patient Appointment Specialist for the newly built hematology/oncology and neurology building starting in about a week. I am so very excited!
I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, so no need to move for the job 🙂
my question is "what is your favorite thing about where you are geographically?"
My interesting fact would be that I used to own a beautiful norwegian forest cat (seriously look them up) and he weighed about 25 lbs; also my last name originates from czechoslovakia (Trubica)
It is a pleasure to meet ya'll!

Welcome, Jake! I love the names you plan to give your future Corgis. 🙂 Are you sure you aren't working as an RN in OB? 🙂

In Surgical Neurology, you will get to work with some phenomenal staff. A family member of mine was on that unit after surgery. She was so pleased with her care and the surgical team.

As for a favorite thing in the area - we love the smaller feel to the community, yet have easy access to almost anything we could want/need in the twins cities. We are a BIG sports family so having MN sports so close and having our kids participate in competitive sports in the area is great for us.
