Meet Mandy Fouts, Customer Success Manager here at ParentSquare! She helps support ParentSquare clients and internal team members. She says “I wear a lot of hats, but I love it!”
Where did you grow up?
In a really small town in North Central Kansas — as in, the nearest big box store or chain restaurant was an hour away. Some of my pre-school classmates continue to be my closest friends which I find to be an anomaly (please note: I also have made friends since preschool…).
If you had to teach a subject, what would it be?
I was an Elementary Teacher for a reason — I didn’t want to declare a subject favorite so I opted to teach them all!
What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas is hands-down my favorite holiday. I LOVE buying gifts for my nieces and nephews and watching their reactions to the new treasures! I live a little over 3 hours away from family so it’s great to have quality time together for a few days (and, a few days is plenty of togetherness — ha)!
If you could magically gain one talent, what would it be?
If I could magically gain a talent — does that include a superpower talent, like flying? If so, that’s what I would choose. If not, then I would like to be able to sing, dance, or draw….pretty sure those talents missed my gene pool.
Would you rather explore a new planet or the deepest part of the ocean?
I’m not sure if I would “explore” either a new planet or the deepest part of the ocean. I appreciate guided tours and cushy surroundings.
One thing you cannot live without?
One thing I’ve really learned during the pandemic is that social interaction is something I cannot live without (I mean, in addition to water, food and sunlight…which are also essential components to daily living).
What are some small things that make your day better?
I always start my day out with a sweat session of some sort (running, boxing, walking, mowing — yes, I count it as a workout…) which puts me in the right frame of mind. Then, I really do appreciate the unexpected giphy via Slack. Following agendas during meetings, happy clients, and checking things off my task list make me love what I do!
What do you like most about working at ParentSquare?
The people are amazing and I’m really excited about the product as well!
Mandy has been at ParentSquare since March 1, 2020.
