Faces of the Diversion: Brandi Aune

Brandi Aune: [00:00:15] I am the administrative support for ASN Constructors. It will be so awesome not having to fill a sandbag and not having to worry about a flood or anything that is going to be coming and wiping out neighborhoods like it did in Grand Forks.

[00:00:29] What drew me to the project is basically it’s history; it’s a part of history. And as soon as I found out that they were hiring, I came over and showed them my true self and they said, “We definitely need you on this project.” So I basically got a foot in the door and when I was offered the position, I had no regrets taking it.

[00:00:52] People can expect Brandi to be cheery, welcoming, peppy, interesting. I always have something to talk about, so they’re never just going to sit in my lobby with nobody to talk to. I always say my desk is like the fun part of the office because I have tons of goodies at my desk, and I just try to make sure that they’re all well caffeinated and well sugared up because they need to be when they’re on a project like this. It can be very stressful at times, but it also is very rewarding and very fun.

[00:01:34] There’s not really a normal day in my job. Every day is so much different and that’s another reason why I just love it so much. When I started there were 25 people and now there’s over a hundred, so there’s plenty of people that ask me different things to do for them and just to get it done in a timely manner. There’s lots of running around here just trying to get the different stuff done every day.

[00:02:20] It’s very exciting just to know that I am doing something that is definitely well worth time and effort and putting forth everything I can for the people that I work for. Because they’re not all from here, and the best thing is that they’re all working towards the same thing.
