Brenna Bechtold: Cat herder extraordinaire

We’re back with another installment of the Team TGG Bio Series. Of course, I had to be reminded to write the post by our Project Manager. Little did she know that SHE would be next in line! Ha!

Without further ado, let me introduce Brenna Bechtold.

So, I’ve already given away your job title, but for those who don’t know what a Project Manager does, can you give some more detail? My all time favorite go to analogy is herding cats.

Wait. You can’t herd cats. Oh.

Despite having an almost impossible, job, what is your favorite thing about it? Working with such a talented group of people!

Are there any projects you've worked on at TGG that you're particularly proud of? The Western Fire Chiefs Association Firemap.

Yeah, that one is pretty cool. Tell us about your work location situation. Many of our developers are remote, with a few in-office. What’s your approach? I’m more remote with the occasional office appearance.

Speaking of office, did I hear that you worked as a receptionist once? I did. I went to Alaska after college to “find myself.” I ended up working for the FAA as a receptionist. Not a great fit, but was an interesting slice of life to see all the various people that would come through.

Where did you grow up? Geneva, IL, near Aurora, which is probably best known for (throws devil horns, rocks head) WAYNE’S WORLD!
