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 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 Torie, one of our dedicated Senior Accountants. Torie is based out of Wyoming and has been with Chazin since 2024. Let’s learn more about her:
1. What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
It’s the relationships that I can build with my clients. Building lasting relationships with respect and understanding is the best part of my day! I love to hear about our clients’ missions and the projects that they are working on (even the rough times!). Having a close relationship with my clients makes my job amazing and allows me to understand not only the numbers, but the purpose of what I am working on. Our clients do some incredible work in this world and are leaving a lasting legacy, and I feel so lucky to be involved in a very small part of their work.
2. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I live on a small cattle ranch, so there isn’t a lot of free time outside of work and ranch projects, but I love the outdoors! If I am not working or handling ranch chores, you can usually find me in the mountains somewhere; horseback riding, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, riding ATVs – just a few of my favorite things to do! If the weather is too cold to be outdoors in the winter, you can usually find me with a good book and a cup of tea or exploring museums and antique stores.
3. What’s your favorite volunteer activity?
Working with kids! I volunteer very heavily with the local 4H program and work with about 100 kids throughout the year, teaching them different life skills and getting to enjoy all their growth and life experiences. At Christmas, I am usually collecting and wrapping gifts for children in rough situations to make sure that they have an exciting holiday and to make their lives just a little bit better.
4. Any exciting news or a fun fact about yourself?
I love to travel! I have had the opportunity to travel to 21 states so far and Quebec, Canada. There are so many amazing places in the world to explore. Meeting new people of such different backgrounds makes it so interesting to start up a conversation in a diner or a coffee shop no matter where you are at the time. Strange fact about me – I taught self-defense classes for women for almost 15 years.
Thank you, Torie!
