You might recognise the name from your inbox, or perhaps the voice from the other end of the phone.
Meet (or re-meet!) Alana Barker, one of our Events Coordinators and a familiar face around Tailrace.
Alana has been helping people bring their events together at Tailrace for many years, usually accompanied by her infectious laugh and a big smile.
But how well do you really know her? I asked Alana a few fun questions and this is what she had to say:
💬 Describe yourself in three words!
Bubbly, Caring, Good listener.
☕ What is your go-to coffee order, who are you ordering it off, and what mug is it served in?
Extra Hot Latte, Will makes the best coffee and of course my Winnie the Pooh Bear Mug!
🎵 What is your go-to song to get you pumped for the day?
Happy Feet!
🧵 What’s your ideal way to spend a day off?
In my craft room sewing, or doing Lego or going on a drive with my husband to a waterfall.
😂 What is one thing guaranteed to make you laugh?
Funny things that Toddlers say!
🤹 If you were booked in to a talent show tomorrow, what are you doing?
Not singing or dancing haha - maybe I could try juggling
Next time Alana pops up in your inbox or on your phone, you’ll know a little more about the person on the other side.
