Employee Spotlight is a blog series meant to offer an inside look at our company culture and, most importantly, highlight the talented individuals who help make our company so special. From accountants and software implementation specialists to operations, marketing, and HR professionals, get to know the people behind Chazin.
Today, we are getting to know Mary Beth Ippich, one of our talented Software Implementation Specialists. Mary Beth is based out of New York and has been with Chazin since 2021. Let's learn more about her:
1. What's your role at Chazin?
I work on the Systems and Implementation Support Team as a Software Implementation Specialist.
2. What's the most rewarding part about your job?
Helping others achieve their goals and making their work-life easier.
3. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Since moving to Buffalo, my husband and I joined a couple Cornhole leagues! When I am not practicing or playing, you can find me reading a good book, painting, or playing music (guitar, ukulele, piano).
4. What's your favorite volunteer activity?
Since giving up Girl Scouts with my move, which will forever be my favorite volunteer activity, I recently registered to be a volunteer at Lothlorien Therapeutic Riding Center and I am excited to start working with them.
5. Please share any exciting news or a fun fact about yourself:
I come from a close, large family; I am one of 8 (#6 in pecking order). My Dad has 29 grandkids with 17 great grandchildren and 2 more on the way! Most of my siblings are in the Buffalo area except the youngest in Chicago. My neighbors on my right are three of my sisters and my father that built on my grandfather’s property, which we call “the compound.” One of my nephews is on the left side of our property. We have two boxers, one is 14 (Crystal) and the other is 9 (Duke). I have two girls (14 and 12). I have unintentionally killed around 5 betta fish when my daughter wanted one. So, in October I did all the research and started a planted, cycled, 5-gallon tank and introduced my final fish on 1/5/25 to the tank. Here is a picture of her when we bought her, to her in the tank now. My Bucketlist points allowed me to purchase all the things for the tank. 😊 Oh, and of course, Go Bills!
