Q+A
Why did you choose this career?
I came from being in a school environment. I taught for a while, and then I worked in the office of a school. I wasn’t looking for this job, but I had been praying for an opportunity to find my “forever job,” should I say. I could see myself working at a job for the remaining years of my working career. When I was presented with the opportunity to be a part of the Dunaway family, I felt like my prayers had been answered. I feel like I am where I belong, doing the work I enjoy and working with some amazing people.
Do you have a favorite holiday?
Thanksgiving. It’s a day when family gets together, eats good food, way-to-much food, watches football, or just reflects on how blessed we are. I just have always felt Thanksgiving was a day that focused on family.
What Core Value resonates with you the most?
I can identify with all, but if I had to pick one that I most identify with, I would have to say Honesty and Attitude of Service. I know that is two, but I feel strongly about both. I expect honesty from others, just as I feel it is important for me to be honest with them. Without it, I feel there is a lack of trust, and without trust, you don’t have much to build on. Attitude of Service, I feel, is what people see first. If you are upbeat, happy, and have a positive attitude in what you are doing; others not only see that, but it makes for a better environment to be in for all.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
Besides my husband, Sam, I would have to say my three boys, Sam Jr., Dalton, and Blaine.
What was your first job?
Sonic Drive-In back when the menu wasn’t so extensive, Tuesday Night’s special of 2 burgers, two fries, and two medium drinks was $4.99, and a large drink was 89¢...and that wasn't during Happy Hour!
