GETTING TO KNOW YOUMaggie HsuHello everyone! My name is Maggie Hsu and I’m an officeadministrative assistant. If you see someone dragging a cartthrough the office or restocking the kitchen, it’s probably me. I was born in Taiwan and moved to the States at the age of 7with my family. I still visit Taiwan at least once a year to visitrelatives. When I was in the 3rd and 4th grade, my mom hadme start with piano and violin lessons. I ended up going to anarts high school for violin/viola and stopped playing after Igraduated. I graduated from Chapman University last year with abachelor’s degree in business administration. During my timethere, I was also a student administrative assistant and wasgiven the opportunity to intern abroad in Sydney, Australia fora record label as a marketing intern. Yes, the spiders are just asbig as you expect. I have a tuxedo cat named Bao, he is my pride and joy. He’s aLibra and currently 3. I like to make him a cat cake every yearfor his birthday as a reward for wearing his birthday hat thathe absolutely despises. My hobbies and interests include music, gym, binge watchingshows, traveling, and food. I do not like horror movies or math. I’m excited to join the Optima team and I look forward tomeeting more Optimians in the future!
