Staff Spotlight
What is your name? Phyllis Orzechowski
What department have you/ do you work in? I have always worked in the cafeteria since I've been at BG.
How long have you been working at BG? This is my fifth year at BG. Working through the pandemic was an interesting experience. Hoping we never have to do that again!
Where did you go to high school/ college? I went to Maine South High School in Park Ridge about 1,000 years ago :) I went to Northeastern College in Chicago a little less than 1,000 years ago.
What part of working at BG do you find the most rewarding? Getting the chance to talk to the kids and finding out what they are interested in is always enjoyable. We have a diverse group of students at BG, which makes for a wide variety of interests.
What are you currently reading, and/ or do you have a favorite author or podcast? I'm reading a great book called "You Are More Powerful Than You Think" by Eric Liu. The book is about creating social change and it helps open your mind to what you are capable of doing.
What is something unique about you? I lived on a boat for a year and a half in Marina del Rey, California. My husband (before we were married) owned a boat and lived on it - a 38-foot Viking. After we got married, I moved onto the boat. After a year and a half, I was ready for dry land and we sold the boat.
What’s a bucket list item for you? So many things come to mind, it's hard to choose. One item that is moving to the top of the list is a trip to Costa Rica or Belize. I love warm tropical places - especially during a Chicago winter!
