Howdy!

The name is in fact Josie. Last name, Jonckheere. I enjoy sports photography, particularly rugby and rodeos. I am an avid reader and abstract artist. I'm a daughter of entrepreneurs and friend to anyone who also just goes to baseball games for the hotdogs.

The best title I've ever been given is Aunt. I procrastinate by deep cleaning my home and doing yard work. Writing snail mail is my favorite pastime. I believe Sunday mornings are incomplete without pancakes and bacon, and if I could golf a whole course with just the putter, I would.

My great great grandparents came to the United States from Belgium and built a farm in Michigan that has remained in my family over 100 years. I'm native to the mitten, but I've lived in many places, my favorite of which being my GMC canyon while traveling the country.

I always have more ideas than time to create, and I'll only karaoke We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel. I dream of being a U.S. History teacher when I retire. Until then, I'm dedicated to building a career in marketing and communications.

I'm a creature of habit who loves change.
I love trying new things, moving to new places, and evolving at work. But I'd be lost without my routine. I believe routines are essential to a good work ethic. When our activities become standardized, it creates a structure for our lives and allows us to be more efficient.

Outside of work, my weekly routine looks a little something like this:

33

aisles walked in publix

400

pages read

21

questions answered at trivia

14

walks with my golden retriever

35,750

pounds lifted

6

miles paddle boarded on the savannah river

Braiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall Kimmerer
