JULIE SMITH is a hospice accounts specialist and has been an Amorem team member for more than five years.

ACCORDING TO JULIE...
—What I love most about my job is being part of the Amorem family and the wonderful way that our organization serves our patients and their families. I truly believe that our doctors and nurses are the heroes of Amorem and I feel blessed to work with people who give so selflessly of themselves to help others.
—My first job was as a video store clerk.
—My favorite way to spend the day off is spending time with family and friends, checking out local boutiques or participating in events with the Jeep group I’m involved with.
—What makes me quirky? I am a social butterfly. I am always down for shenanigans and a good laugh and the only thing that could make it better is if I’m wearing a great outfit! I believe in the Charlie Chaplin adage...a day without laughter is a day wasted.

NOY XAYSANAVONGPHET is chief financial officer and has been an Amorem team member for more than three years.

ACCORDING TO NOY...
—What I love most about my job are the people that I get to work with at AMOREM. I get to be an extension of the work that they do each day for the patient and the community we get to serve. It is a blessing every day to be able to witness the care, love, passion and dedication that they give.
—My first job was working front-end cashier at Captain D's fast food restaurant in Morganton.
—My favorite way to spend the day off if I am not spending time with my kids, nieces and nephew, is to go explore small towns.
—What makes me quirky? Food and meals have always been a foundation of how I connect with people. The food or meals around these connections have always been family style or tapas where we will have a spread of different kinds of food to share together. While I love having these, I do not like people trying things off or taking things off my plate. I will share anything with you if you don’t touch my plate.

I also love spreadsheets!!! The colors and when I get the formula to work, it truly makes me HAPPY! 😊 It brightens my day!
