Here at our remote Team Awesome headquarters we’re taking time to think about the people who make us so great. You’re already familiar with their hard-working, tech-supporting, can-do attitudes. Now we pull the curtain back a little bit further so that you can get to know them better. Today, we’re featuring first-year student Abbie Mills. When she graduates, she plans to be a school librarian.
Where are you from and what’s your favorite part about it?
I was born and raised here in Champaign-Urbana. I love the wonderfully brilliant and diverse community and all the great parks!
What is your favorite part about working at the Help Desk?
I love how welcoming and helpful this Help Desk community is. Everyone has been so inclusive and kind. I know I am safe asking questions that someone will jump right in to kindly help! (They also treat patrons this way which is wonderful!) It is a team I feel proud to be joining because of their great well-earned reputation.
Favorite catchphrase?
Groovy! Gnarly!
If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, what would you eat?

If you had to choose, would you rather it rained gummy bears, M&Ms, or potato chips?
M&Ms (all the different kinds!)
What was your silliest/most embarrassing teenage phase?
