F&P Spotlight on Resource Specialist Stacy Rippetoe

What is your favorite aspect about working at F&P?
Overall, I love the people I work with. Everyone works extremely well together and is always more than willing to help each other out.

What’s your favorite restaurant?
Texas Roadhouse. I love their green beans.

What’s your proudest accomplishment?
I’d have to say my current role. I started at F&P 10 years ago as an administrative assistant. After four years I was offered the Resource Coordinator position which led me to the Resource Specialist position I am currently in. When I was little, I always wanted to grow up and be a teacher. Then in my later teens, I became obsessed with computers and technology.  So technically you can say I have landed my dream job. I teach people how to use computer programs.

What do you like to do outside the office?
I love spending time with my children. They are my everything, my best friends!

Have you read any good books or seen any good movies this year that you would recommend?
Purple Hearts. I highly recommend it. Have your tissues ready!

What was the best news you ever received?
It’s a boy!!! I love my girls of course, but always wanted that little boy and I got blessed with my main man in 2016.

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
Alligator.

If you could have lunch with anyone in the world who would it be?
My grandmother just one last time. I lost her very young, and I have so much to tell her and show her. I think she’d be pretty proud of me and my accomplishments considering the hurdles life has thrown at me.

Do you have any bizarre talents?
