August 2021 Employee of the Month: Vicki Donnelly

Congratulations Vicki Donnelly – August 2021 Employee of the Month

Nomination

Vicki’s core responsibility is shipping—processing and dispatching our shipments—but she has expanded her skill set to include quality control and receiving. She has mastered the “100s machine,” a bagger that pre‑packs our standard products.

Her meticulous eye for detail consistently surfaces issues that would otherwise slip through. By catching errors before they reach customers, she saves the team valuable time and preserves our reputation.

Vicki’s humor is quirky, yet she delivers feedback candidly—exactly the balance we need. She engages across departments, from sales to purchasing to the warehouse, and her proactive energy keeps operations running smoothly.

In her current role, Vicki thrives—shifting seamlessly between the shipping station, QC/receiving, and pre‑packing while prioritizing tasks without prompting.
