May 20, 2020 | STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Name: Debbie Kindler
Title: Accounting Manager
Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in Administration & Management from Chatham College, Master Gardener
Primary role at the Garden: Accounting & Human Resources
How did you start in this career (or transition from another career): I worked for US Steel after graduating from college. I switched to working with nonprofits and small organizations while raising 3 children and never looked back!
What you love most about your job: The staff is incredible and our Garden is a beautiful, growing environment! You couldn’t ask for a prettier place to spend a work day!
Interesting anecdote or fun fact about your job: Only at the Garden can you see bees on your lunch time, learn about acid mine drainage, and watch a wedding procession every Friday!
What do you like to do when you are not at work (hobby or other): I’m a gardener, sewer, and love to play tennis.
Who inspired you to pursue this line of work? My buddy Hazel (fellow gardener and tennis buddy) told me about the Garden. It’s all her fault that I decided that I had to join and needed to work here as well!
