« I am always willing to help people, assist where I can, and try to make lives better. » says Barb. Barb demonstrated her caring nature during a recent workshop when one of her co-workers suffered an allergic reaction. Initially the co-worker took some Benadryl and tried to continue on with the workshop but when Barb noticed his reaction was becoming quite severe, she insisted on taking him to the hospital where he received treatment. « It was a little more of an ordeal than what he even envisioned, » says Barb. Helping people translates into Barb’s daily job as an executive assistant. « I like organizing schedules and calendars and making people’s lives easier and more efficient so they can focus on the things they need to focus on. » « I’m honoured to be nominated, » says Barb, « but I would hope that anybody would reach out and help somebody in need. To me that’s just common sense. »
