Marji’s start date at Geranium in 1996 places her among the company’s veteran employees. Often the first to arrive in the morning, Marji likes to get organized for the day ahead. She is well-suited for her role as the professional voice on the telephone, greeter to those arriving and deftly handles many tasks.
Marji loves her job and enjoys working with knowledgeable colleagues and meeting lots of interesting people. Prior to joining Geranium, she held clerical positions at a non-profit organization which she also very much enjoyed.
She joined Geranium as a file clerk and was later promoted to receptionist. When asked why she believes Geranium maintains the receptionist position rather than switching to automated answering like so many companies, she explains that having a person to provide a human connection is very like the caring culture of the company.
Marji is a voracious reader, which is how she likes to relax. She also enjoys writing poetry and short stories for adults and children.
Marji has a keen sense of humour and enjoys a good laugh; a trait she’s passed on to her adult daughter. When Elizabeth was married recently, the theme of the wedding was Super Heroes!
