Your tax dollars, at work

Worked for city for: 1.5 years

Resides in: Buckingham County. “I am willing to travel so far because I really do love my job.”

Job title: Customer service supervisor. She’s been in the position since May. “I oversee the girls, help them with any difficult customers that we have,” says TenEyck. Before coming up to the front desk, she worked in cash management. While living in Syracuse, New York, she found the job online—her sister lives in Charlottesville.

Best of times: “The people. I love to meet different people.”

Worst of times: “The people. Sometimes you get angry people, but if you just give them a few minutes of your time to listen to them, and not do other things while they’re talking to you, they calm down. They just want to know that somebody’s listening to them.”

If her job were done by a superhero, it’d be: “Wonder Woman. She can do anything. And she can do it fast.”
