Where would we be without these two team members? This week, meet Kelly Green, who pulls double-duty as our accounting and human relations manager. But don't let her love of numbers fool you. Kelly is also a professional, award-winning bluegrass musician for Acoustic Endeavors, a group she co-founded in 1992. Next is our meticulous proofreader, Tara Lincoln. Tara is often our last line of defense for all in-house and customer designs. Everything from spelling and text inaccuracies to graphic issues meet their match under Tara's watchful eye. Kelly Green ![]() How long have you been with Magnets USA? 11 years. What's the best part of the job? Working with such a fun group of people every day and the diversity of the job. There's never a dull moment in the accounting office. What's the best gift you've ever received, and what made it so special? My parents bought me a fiddle and a guitar when I was young. I grew up in a musical family. Music has taken me literally all over the world. I've been fortunate to have lived and traveled all over Europe, England and Ireland. I would not have had those opportunities if it wasn't for those two gifts. I have met some very dear lifelong friends because of the music my parents instilled in me as a child. What's your favorite thing to do in the Roanoke Valley on the weekends? Work in my garden, spend time with my three huge bulldogs (Maybelle, Vassar and Monroe — all named after famous bluegrass musicians) and enjoy the wonderful live music scene. As a child, what was your dream job? I have always loved numbers, so my dream job was to be in the accounting field. I am so very lucky to be doing exactly what I dreamed of doing when I grew up. Tara Lincoln ![]() How long have you been with Magnets USA? I've been here eight years now. What's the most rewarding part of the job? Having the respect of the designers, even when I correct them all day. What's the best adventure you've ever been on? Watching the sea turtles in Costa Rica. If you could go back and give your 18-year-old self one piece of advice, what would it be? Learn more about the real world; It can't be found in a book. What's your favorite season? Fall. I grew up in the mountains and love the colors of the trees and the crispness of the air. Comments are closed.
