Karli’s McNamee’s Amazing Superpowers THE CAN-DO CHAMELEON IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Not every company can say they have a superhero working in their midst. But when you see what Karli McNamee — our resident chameleon — does in a single day, you will have no doubt that she’s superhuman. Karli describes her superpower as “a cog in a group that helps everything run.” As our executive assistant, Karli’s main job is making sure our fearless leader doesn’t take on 42 hours of projects in a 24-hour day, but a lot of the amazing work Karli does at The Newsletter Pro is behind the scenes. At any given time, Karli could be researching insurance companies, tracking down people for W-9s, ordering office furniture, or putting together agendas for a meeting she won’t even attend! She’s a chameleon, leaping into action wherever she’s needed. Like any good superhero, Karli’s origin story involves some unexpected turns. When she first applied to work at The Newsletter Pro, she had
her eyes on an editing position. As someone who loves words, Karli would have been an invaluable resource helping our writing team improve content for our clients. Unfortunately, the day Karli applied also happened to be the day the position was filled by someone else. Never one to be discouraged by something as trivial as a rejection letter, Karli waited for another opportunity to join the company she knew she would love. It wasn’t long before an ad went up for the executive assistant position. With Karli’s positive attitude and can-do drive, it was really no contest. When Karli first took the executive assistant position, she vowed to do an excellent job but also made it clear than when an editing position became available, she wanted first dibs. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before we needed to bring more editors on to the team. But when presented with the opportunity to switch gears, Karli changed her mind.
“I realized I’d fallen in love with the job,” Karli says, explaining why she ultimately turned down the editing position. “The way I see it, one of the best things I can do for the company I love is to take things off Shaun’s shoulders so that he can be the leader. I like being helpful; I like being the one people turn to with projects that don’t fit anyone else’s job description. I like being a chameleon!” If you’re at The Newsletter Pro headquarters and you need help working with a contractor, answering emails in Shaun’s voice, or you discover that your computer is suffering from the blue screen of death, never fear! Karli McNamee is here!
