This month, we are proud to announce that Cherie Olson has been nominated as our Employee of the Month for February. Congratulations [Cherie](https://www.wesslerengineering.com/our-team/169/cherie/?back=Staff_Members) and thank you for your hardwork and humor!

 

  

 

## What are your roles and responsibilities at Wessler?

As Controller for the company, I have the direct and overall responsibility for general accounting, cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and regulatory compliance.

## What does the "Wessler Way" mean to you?

To me, the Wessler Way is about finding the best possible solutions to serve our clients. I believe that the level of expertise our organization provides, as well as overall team approach that is put in place for all projects, allows Wessler to deliver a quality product time and again.

## What is one of the most valuable lessons you have learned?

I try not to take myself too seriously all the time. Laughter is the best medicine and if you can laugh at yourself you will enjoy life more!

## Outside of work, what are some of your favorite hobbies?

A couple of years ago, I got a new LP player. I have been going to record conventions, record stores, as well as to antique shops so that I can add to my record collection. I have LP’s from every spectrum of music - Elvis, Adele, Michael Jackson, Nat King Cole, Beastie Boys, Missy Elliot, Kiss, Cher, Justin Timberlake, and the Go Go’s.  Besides listening to music, I love gardening, golfing, going to concerts, and reading.

## Rumor has it you are an avid book reader; what books are you reading now?

I am sorry to say it is nothing too intellectual but more on the entertainment spectrum. I am reading two books currently: Linda Thompson’s “A Little Thing Called Life,” and Carrie Fisher’s “The Princess Diarist."

## If you were given free tickets to any concert, whether they are dead or alive, who would you go see?

I was lucky enough to see [Joan Rivers](http://www.joanrivers.com/) in concert back in early 2013 and I never laughed so hard in my life! Joan was 80 years old at the time and you would have never known it with her 2 hour set. I recently found an earlier recording of Joan’s standup on LP, which was a great add to my collection. Additionally, I found an improv class I want to take this summer. So, who knows, maybe in a few years I could be the next great comic!

## What is your favorite TV show?

I would say my favorite TV show is [The Walking Dead](http://www.amc.com/shows/the-walking-dead). I love anything horror but “The Walking Dead” is more than just a zombie TV show - it digs deep into relationships between people and what people do in order to survive. I guess you could call me a nerd since I also never miss “The Talking Dead,” as well, and love seeing the behind the scenes of some of the stunts that are in the show. Most importantly, of course, I am [#TeamDaryl](https://www.google.com/search?q=team%20daryl&*&rct=j)!
