🗣️🎊 We're back with another CAS alumni shoutout!🗣️🎊
This week we highlight a former math tutor, Dallace Hamel!
Dallace currently lives in Nebraska, and works at a company called Scoular. She says, "I am an HR Business Partner and thoroughly love the creative problem solving I use every day. I spend most of my time with my nieces, Gabbi and Brin, as well as with my partner, Eric. I kickbox 6 days a week, and often find myself either playing soccer, pickleball, or sand volleyball in pick-up leagues throughout the week. Love to be active and outdoors (weather permitting)."
Learning the secret to keeping plants healthy is one of Dallace’s favorite memories of the CAS! “Due to my schedule obligations, I often worked closing shifts at the CAS. One night while closing, I noticed Susan had poured her drink into one of our longest living plants. The plant wrapped around the CAS ceilings, and was extremely healthy. At the time, I had assumed it was leftover water, but later I realized that Susan regularly drank Diet Coke,” she says. “When I asked Susan about what she was pouring into the plant, I remember she shrugged her shoulders, and answered ‘It likes it.’ From that day, I ALSO continue feeding my plants Diet Coke.”
