CLE welcomes Gail to our team and would love for you to get to know her just a little bit better.
How long have you worked at CLE?
- Since April 2024
What is something you learned in the last week?
- All the different pieces to the services we provide to our clients. It’s quite amazing and every event is different.
Who Inspires You?
- My mother is my biggest inspiration. She is strong, genuine, honest, and tough! She is also the hardest-working woman I have ever met.
What’s your hometown?
- I grew up on a hog farm in West Bend, Iowa. (Home of the Grotto of Redemption)
What is your favorite family tradition?
- When I was growing up, my mom would make fried chicken on Sundays. To this day, when I visit, I ask her to make that for me. It’s the best in the world, ha!!
What has been your favorite project at CLE?
- I love being a part of all of the projects! I seem to have a little part in everything, which I really enjoy. Where I can help, I hope to be an asset!
What’s your drink of choice?
- Alcoholic or Non-alcoholic? HA! I’m a water snob, I struggle with drinking water, but I like San Pellegrino sparkling water. If we’re going for the good stuff, fresh grapefruit juice and Tito’s make me really happy!
What’s your go-to karaoke song?
- Oh gosh, I prefer to observe vs. participate!
What hobbies and interests do you have outside of work?
- I have fitness in my blood. I love Zumba and dance classes for cardio. I enjoy riding bicycles, but I need to buy a new bike! Weightlifting is another thing that is in my genes. If I did not exercise, I would be crazier than I am, HA!
What is your role at CLE?
- I am the Office Coordinator, which entails not only front desk responsibilities but also wearing whatever hat is needed with all my peers who need assistance. I enjoy helping my peers!
What is one thing you cannot resist?
- White chocolate! (Cooper’s Hawk white chocolate truffles are to die for!)
What is your greatest fear?
- Spiders, bugs, any creepy crawler. I’ll take a mouse or a snake over an insect any day!
Where is your favorite place to be?
- With the people I love! My kids, grandkids, family and friends. The venue doesn’t matter when I’m with my people!
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
- I have been to a few cool places, but London and Paris stand out the most. Seeing the Parliament and museums is a treasured memory. I was lucky enough to see Notre Dame in Paris before it burned down, so that’s pretty special.
What was your first music concert?
- My parents took me to see Ronnie Milsap at the fair when I was a little girl.
What would you do (for a career) if you weren’t working for CLE?
- I would love to be a professional fashion/trend thrift store shopper.
What are the three works you would use to describe CLE?
- Fun, United, Respect
What is your super skill?
- I get things done. If there’s something that is expected of me, I get it done, no matter what.
What are one or two items on your bucket list?
- Traveling to Italy and going to Disney with my grandchildren.
In your opinion, what makes an incredible production?
- When the visuals blow you away. Whether it be the technology, stage presence, or talent.
What’s the weirdest job you’ve ever had?
- I picked up sticks in a friend’s yard to make extra money.
What’s your walk-up song?
- I’m not quite sure what a “walk-up song” is, but one that always gets me on the dance floor is “Brick House!”
