Meet Maxx, our Front Desk Receptionist at Brownsburg, and our featured teammate profile this month:
Undergraduate School?
-I studied writing and literary theory as an English major at Butler University. I also studied critical communication and media studies as a second major and minored in classics.
What do you love about your role?
-I love that I am, essentially, in a fish-bowl spinning around and doing my part to make multiple aspects of care function. In more grounded terms, I truly love being a consistent face and contributing to a safe space for people who might not have those things elsewhere.
Why did you choose this career path?
-I fell in love with the opportunity to be a smooth stone for a community of people on a path that can feel like walking on chipped gravel.
How would you describe your personality in one sentence?
-Throw bubbles, something shiny, crystals, old books, a stick you found on a walk, tarot cards, and a macabre black-out poem into a pot and you will cook up a Maxx.
What is one thing you cannot live without?
-I need a little mammal ruling my house. I grew up with a minimum of two dogs in my home. I now have two rescue cats, Spinach and Arugula, who wear little bandanas and have personalized place mats.
Where is a place you have always wanted to travel to?
-I would like to go to Iceland – I've imagined traveling there as a last hurrah and spending the end moments in my current form amidst the nature there.
What would you eat if you had to eat only one meal every day for the rest of your life?
-As an autist, I consider this question often. I have to decide on pasta because I can always tweak sauces and shapes. Of course, the pasta will need to be paired with a soft pretzel and a well-iced Dr. Dew (Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew combo). Obviously, followed with an optional cheesecake and yogurt parfait.
What's one thing that consistently makes you laugh so hard you cry?
-You would have to catch me on a very odd day if I don't have a hilarity fit over a Mitch Hedberg line.
If you could tell your clients one thing only what would it be?
-We got this.
