Deb Nicharot: Production Manager. “I’m missing the direct contact and comradery with my Crews Control team, but very much look forward to our daily video calls. I’m staying sane by doing yoga at least 3 days a week, doing creative projects around the house and having weekly video calls with my family.” #CrewsControlatHome

Eliana Hassen: SVP of Operations "I’ve always worked with clients on solutions, but now I've pivoted and am working closely with clients on their options for Emergency Communications Tools during this time, and have been demoing our remote direct and capture tool. To stay sane, I run up and down a flight of stairs between calls and I’ve been cooking daily with my kids." #CrewsControlatHome

Ashley Brook: Senior Production Manager. “I get to spend every day with my dog and listen to my record collection while at work! It helps while preparing Crews Control to come back stronger and more agile once restrictions are lifted. I bought my first house right before the shutdown – so many nesting projects to keep me busy! FYI, painting kitchen cabinets is QUITE an undertaking.” #CrewsControlatHome

Allison Meyd: Office Manager, Sales & Marketing Coordinator. "Adjusting to working from home means that I have a shorter commute, but it also means that I have had to create stronger boundaries between work and home life. I have created a routine to make sure I really “clock out” at the end of the day. To stay sane, I am making sure I get outside every day to play with my golden retriever, Millie.
