The Brains of the (Pool Scouts Local) Operation

Congratulations to our July Employee of the Month, Halie! Halie started with Pool Scouts in March as a local operations office assistant, just in time for pool opening season when things really pick up. She has been an amazing asset to the team, working nonstop speaking with customers, scheduling cleaning services and everything else in between to ensure the office logistics of our local operation run smoothly.

Originally from the very beautiful (and very cold) Anchorage, Alaska, Halie moved around often growing up in a military family. She eventually ended up in Hampton Roads, which we are so thankful for since it brought her to Pool Scouts. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and she loves dogs. In fact, Halie is currently housing her sister’s dog while she cares for her new baby. When Halie’s not busy supporting customers and pool technicians in the office, she enjoys reading and working out.  

What Makes Halie Great

Halie has been such a valuable asset to the Pool Scouts team, especially during opening season, our busiest time of the year. Halie is great at talking to people and always maintains a caring attitude. She’s organized and efficient, helping keep schedules on track. She’s also a hard worker, willing to work long hours to ensure that every customer is cared for, and taking the time to diligently make sure issues get resolved. This is an important part of being the office manager, and Halie makes it look effortless. 

Here’s what one coworker had to say about working with Halie. "Halie started with Pool Scouts in March and since then she has been working overtime, 6 days per week and eating lunch at her desk to assist with the influx of business due to opening season. Being one of the newest members of the BFB family, I have really acknowledged her ambition and motivation to make Pool Scouts have a successful season. She answers the calls with a smile on her face and enthusiasm in her voice, even though her phone literally never stops ringing. Great job Halie!"

Some Insights into Halie’s Life

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get? If I could have an endless supply of food, it would be sushi. 

If they made a movie of your life, what would it be about, and which actor would you want to play you? It would definitely be a romantic comedy, and obviously Jennifer Lawrence. We are pretty much identical.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? Fresh snails off of our balcony at 2 years old; where were my parents??

We are so thankful for Halie, and for all of the hard work that she puts in each and every day. She has been such an asset to the team and to the growth and success of Pool Scouts. We appreciate all that she does and look forward to continued growth and success with her alongside us, paving the way! Way to go, Halie!
