We’re growing!
It’s a wonderful week for us at Rosenfeld Media, because we move from the “royal” us to the real one: our first full-time employee started work on Monday. Karen Corbett, who’s been responsible for our customer service since late 2008, is now our Operations Manager. She’ll continue to handle customer service, which she’s done so well (for instance, our Amazon customers rate us a 4.9), and will take on new responsibilities in managing our day-to-day operations. I’m absolutely thrilled that Karen is (even more) on board!
