That's Wendy Schmitz at our main reception desk here in Eden Prairie City Center. Wendy is not the only administrative professional to work the front desk, but she probably works more hours at this front desk than anyone else that works here.
Wendy has worked for the City for 18 years. She started working for the City by working our 2-10 pm shift at the reception desk at the Community Center. She worked in Human Resources for a few years and then started working the front desk about three years ago. Prior to working for the City, Wendy worked in the mortgage banking field.
When I asked Wendy what she liked about her job, she said "I love my job!" She likes her interaction with residents at the counter. She likes working with her co-workers. She said the most satisfying part of her job is when she can answer a citizen's question directly over the telephone without having to forward the call to another City employee.
Outside of work, Wendy likes to spend time with her son Adam, 13, her daughter Rachel, 7, and her husband Charlie.
Wendy does a very nice job fielding a very wide variety of questions, day in and day out, at our main City Center reception desk. Next time you call our main line at 952.949.8300, say 'hello' to Wendy. If you've got a question, she can help.
