We come from six different countries and speak nine languages. Some of us are first-generation Americans. Some of us arrived here as refugees or asylees. One of us was born just four miles from our office. Another—born 6,000 miles away—welcomed her first child at that very same hospital.
Some of us are left-brained. Some are right-brained. One is left-handed. The rest of us are right-handed, though a few still struggle with scissors.
We are artists, musicians, parents, and grandparents. One of us is a fashion designer. One is into anime. One plays the trumpet. One runs 10Ks. One is a certified nutritionist. Four of us paint. Two are gamers. Several of us are into soccer. Some prefer bocce. One is very into pickleball.
Most of us are early birds. One of us is definitely not.
Many of us are gardeners. All of us are builders—of products, of possibility, and of each other.
Collectively, we’ve been at Rivanna for more than 130 years. We bring different backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and that richness shapes everything we make.
PS -- We are in the process of creating a very cool new team page. Stay tuned for updates :)
