Employee Feature Friday... on a Monday!!
Happy Monday everyone! Who else feels like the Monday after daylight savings time starts should be a national holiday??? Anyone?? Anyways, our Employee Feature this time is Megan Bruning, a new Bilingual Customer Support Analyst in our Cambridge, Ontario office.
Not only is Megan a new Bilingual Customer Support Analyst in Cambridge, she’s new to living in Canada. Megan’s originally from Florida, and before coming to AGDATA she spent 4 years living and working in China.
“Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to travel and experience different cultures.”
In college Megan majored in French, and served as a Graduate Assistant teaching French to Freshman and Sophomores after graduation. She enjoyed teaching and thought she would have a lot of fun teaching English to other people.
Megan had the opportunity to teach English to Primary school students for 2 years and Middle and High school students for 2 years in Dongguan, China. When she wasn’t working Megan enjoyed traveling around China, her favorite stop in her travels being China’s 2nd oldest brewery—Tsingtao Brewery.
Interestingly, Megan actually met her now husband while abroad in China, he was an English and PE teacher in the same school that she worked in. After 4 years they decided to move back home, and since her Husband is originally from Kitchener they decided to settle in the area.
“Adjusting to the weather my first winter was hard, it was a total shock and I didn’t go outside unless I absolutely had to. This winter hasn’t been as bad since it’s my second.”
Megan and her husband got married in Florida in 2017 and settled in Canada in 2018. Outside of work Megan is an avid Yogi, and volunteers regularly at a local yoga studio. She also enjoys reading and trying new recipes. She laments that she’s not able to find good Mexican food in the area, so lately she’s been experimenting a lot with traditional Mexican flavors and recipes. She also enjoys spending a lot of time outside with her fur baby, Walter, a 5-year-old golden retriever.
Megan is really enjoying working at AGDATA and loves that there is so much variety in her day, and how there's always something different for her to do. She’s looking forward to settling into her new role this year. Welcome to the AGDATA Family, Megan!
