Welcome to the “Day in the Life” blog series. Here we will feature interviews with Swimlaners to learn more about their experience. This series will give you a preview of Swimlane, our culture, and the people who keep us going.
Hi, I’m Xiaomei! I am originally from a small farming town in southwest China. Before Swimlane, I lived in Paris, backpacked through Europe, and worked on cruise ships for a while. My husband and I (and our Shetland sheepdog) moved to Colorado in 2019 and we all love it here!
How long have you been with Swimlane?
I have been with Swimlane for about 9 months now.
What does your job entail?
The Office Manager part of my job involves keeping our HQ organized and full of tasty snacks; I also help arrange events hosted by Swimlane and fun stuff like trivia and volunteer outings. My other hat is HR Assistant, for which I assist with onboarding employees and answering HR-related questions.
What do you enjoy most about working at Swimlane?
People! I am surrounded by smart, helpful Swimlaners wherever I look.
What excites you most about your work?
I am learning something new every day!
What do you like to do when you aren’t working?
I do yoga, practice ping-pong, and enjoy as much of Colorado as I can.
What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know?
I learned most of my English by watching Desperate Housewives and Prison Break in college. 🙂
Your motto or personal mantra:
“Nourish what makes you feel confident, connected, contented. Opportunity will rise to meet you.”
Three words that best describe you:
I am a self-disciplined, broad-minded fireball.
What Swimlane core value resonates with you the most?
“Always be leveling up” – I am a firm believer in “what got you here won’t get you there.” For me, this means I am always trying to improve and get better.
