.159 Brianna Garvey

My first impression of Garvey was that she’s incredibly thoughtful. Thoughtful in two ways; she’s compassionate and very considerate of those around her, but she also seems to quite literally be full of thoughts, as if she’s miles ahead of everyone else and finding the best thing to say. To me, this stems from a brilliant mind and Garvey is no doubt a wildly intelligent, wonderfully friendly woman who I’m grateful to have crossed paths with. I just wish it had been for longer!

Over the time frame that we did work together, Garvey was always such a refreshing face to see in the office. She brings such a creative spark to the room and a fabulously unique personality that I came to deeply appreciate. She could always make me laugh and calm me down from my usual (daily) stressors. As a colleague and as a human being, she’s just steady, easygoing, and practical, all of which make her a delight to be around and to learn from.

Garvey, thank you for being such an important addition to our quirky department and thank you for always being so solution-focused. Thank you for being your true self all of the time and for never letting anyone get in the way of that. Thank you for dealing with my crazy stories and puns and just for being so fun to be friends with and to work with at the museum. Thank you, Garvey, for being you!
