Name: Kecia J. Jones
Job Title: Receptionist/Administrative Assistant
How long have you been at TARCOG and what do you do? I have worked here four and a half years. I receive and transfer phone calls from our main phone line. I greet and direct visitors to the appropriate personnel, receive packages, weigh and postmark mail, receive and deliver mail and other related duties as assigned.
What did you want to be when you grew up? When I was younger my mom told me I always talked about being a paralegal.
What do you hope to accomplish within the next year? To learn a new skill or try something new.
Who is your hero and why? My parents are the people who I admire the most. They raised my three brothers and me to have principles, morals and to have respect for others. They prided themselves on being educated, dependable, and hard working. Although they were sometimes stern, they still loved and provided for us. They also gave to the community by shaping young minds because they both were educators for over 30 years. They are deceased now, but I think about them often.
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? Go sightseeing on Rodeo Drive in California and buy anything I want.
What is the best piece of advice someone has given you? My Daddy gave the best advice. He would say, “Get what you want, but want what you get!”
What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done? I went to Disney one year and rode on this ride called the “Haunted Mansion.” This ride took you way up on an elevator and then it dropped down and it scared me nearly to death.
Who knows you the best? My children Hadrian and Hadara Jones.
What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off debt, invest and travel.
