Leadership Fun Facts Marissa Villarreal What was your first job I got my first job when I was 17 at Old Navy I worked there for 4 years before moving onto another retail store for an additional 2 years After that I came to Optima The retail life was rough but I learned a lot of my customer service skills in those jobs What s your favorite holiday My all time favorite holiday is thanksgiving I love being able to spend time with my loved ones and of course the food Do you have any pets I have an almost 3 year old Husky who is my entire world His name is Opie I adopted him in 2020 so he is indeed a covid puppy with major separation anxiety but I have separation anxiety from him too so it works out cause we re always together and yes it s true what they say Huskies are loud What is your most irrational fear Although I live in California my biggest irrational fear is earthquakes It s the thought of not being in control in that moment that scares me What is your favorite sports team I am and forever will be a Dodgers girl Win or lose mostly win that is my team I love going to the games There is nothing more beautiful than the Dodgers Stadium
