Hey fellow Quirksters!! My name is Diana and I’m the newest edition to the finance team at Quirky. I am extremely excited to be a part of such an awesome team. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and learning something new every day.
Before joining the Quirky team, I handled business and financial management at various businesses in the restaurant, real estate, and fashion industries – all at the same time. I handled tenant and vendor relations, bookkeeping, and office operations – just to name a few. As you can probably tell, I can definitely be a workaholic! Now I’m settled in at Quirky. I’ll be working alongside Jovena — primarily managing the books and handling financials (among other things).
I love Quirky because it encourages creativity. Seriously, this is awesome!! As I mentioned earlier, I am ecstatic to be a part of such a talented team. I look forward to hearing all of your creative ideas and seeing Quirky grow!
Diana

Hey Diana; welcome! As a finance person, could you please clue us in as to whether Quirky is actually hiring from within the community? That is, do you have a member number, and if so . . . what is it? Awhile ago Quirky said they’d be hiring from within the community. As I straddle this couch-surfing life of orphaned homelessness, I’d be really interested in the answer; is the Quirky team hiring from within or out? And if the answer is “out”, please clue us in as to where and how you obtained this employment: was is through an agency?
