ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sal’s Stars of the Week: Robyn Harris

(Introduced by Emily Hyde)

The Sal’s Star of the week for December 30, 2022 is Robyn Harris. It is the little things that set special people apart from the rest. Robyn does a lot of the little things that set her apart without the expectation of recognition of these little things. Robyn joined Cardiac Sciences in the spring of 2022 and has been an integral member of the team ever since. Robyn quietly and efficiently supports the program, Craig, and many other staff. Any time support is needed, she is happy to pitch in and help, whether it be setting up meetings, connecting with the right people, or ensuring a certain someone who doesn’t often eat lunch has food to make it through the day. Robyn approaches her work with kindness and compassion, always ready to help out and do the little extra things that make all the difference. Robyn was helping me with some research reimbursements and, in addition to mailing off forms, thankfully also scanned them in so that, when they were inevitably lost, they were easily resent. Robyn’s kindness and willingness to go above and beyond is not limited to work. When complemented on a jacket, she shared information about her sister’s business, Birch Hill Studio, and her love and support for family and small businesses was so evident. Cardiac Sciences is lucky to have Robyn as part of our team and I look forward to continuing to enjoy working with her for a long time! Join me in thanking and congratulating Robyn on being the Sal’s Star of the Week for December 30!
