Team Member Spotlight: Meet Jacob

p>Jake comes to PhoenixTeam with 20 years’ experience and 5 Salesforce certifications. Working at PhoenixTeam has shifted his mindset on solution delivery. “The way Phoenix goes to market is not to deliver a project, but a product” “It has changed my mindset around software delivery and how to define and measure success.”

Jake was drawn to Phoenix because he is allowed to make his own path, add value to his clients and take risks that he was not able to do before. “The team environment at Phoenix makes me excited to come to work (by which I mean I come downstairs and sit at my desk) and do the work I want to do the way I want to do it.” Jake is a native Washingtonian and has a huge passion for BBQ, whiskey and woodwork. His free time is spent with his wife and two young boys.

Intern Spotlight: Meet Avery

We are excited to welcome Avery to our team as an Intern! Avery recently started with PhoenixTeam and has already made an impact with our team! Learn more about Avery in her own words below!

Why did you choose Phoenix:
I chose Phoenix because I watched my sister create a diversity and inclusion plan from scratch this summer and I thought, wow I want to be in a place where I can do that. Our parents have always taught us how important topics such as diversity, equity, and inclusion are, not only to us, but to everyone. I wanted to be a part of a company that also valued those things and really put their money where their mouth is, and Phoenix does that.

What have you loved about your Phoenix internship:
I love the family feel I get from the whole company! Yes, my sister works for Phoenix, but truly the entire staff treats each other like family. Everything is focused on helping and supporting one another to be better. I get to learn in depth about so many topics, and there is always someone there to lend a guiding hand. I have also had the opportunity to pitch ideas and they are appreciated and heard, which is really special because I don’t think a lot of internships are like that.

What is something exciting you’ve done so far/ are looking forward to doing:
I am looking forward to working on the weekly diversity, equity, and inclusion blogs on our confluence page. We had so many ideas for the blogs we already have them planned out through the end of the year! I also love making the graphics for the different heritage months on how to be a good ally to specific communities. I think it’s important that we all try to be the best we can be to and for each other!

Intern Spotlight: Meet Jaedri

We are excited to welcome Jaedri to our team as an Intern! She started in early August and has already made an impact with our team! Learn more about Jaedri in her own words below!

Why did you choose Phoenix:
To be honest, I did not picture myself working in the mortgage technology industry upon graduating college. Then I met Tanya, who introduced me to the Phoenix Team. The people and culture were so welcoming, and I had an opportunity to learn more about the company, so I took it. As an international business and economics major, I know the power the mortgage industry holds in the public policy realm. I am looking forward to learning how to make mortgage policies more available and beneficial to the public while I am working with Phoenix!

What have you loved about your phoenix internship:
I have loved how everyone has asked what I want to do and where I want to work within Phoenix. I have gotten to experience diversity and inclusion, marketing, training, designing, and I am finding where I fit best. Everyone is very open, so if you do not enjoy doing something, they will help you find work in something you love which is very comforting in a new job!

What is something exciting you’ve done so far/ are looking forward to doing:
I have made some example storyboards, designed presentations and document deliverables, and I am excited to do these things for an external client—as most of my work in that area has been internal. Also, I discovered a new design site to make informative graphics which I love, and I hope to do more of them in the future!  Besides that, I am excited to learn more about the company and how we can make ourselves better by investing in ourselves and each other throughout our work!
