Fun Facts About Arezu:
- Before working at MSU, what was the most unusual or interesting job you had?
Before working at MSU, I was a waitress at an assisted living home for the elderly back in Grand Rapids. Throughout my time there, I became well acquainted with many World War II and Vietnam veterans and listening to all of their stories was one of the most interesting experiences I've had on the job.
- What is your favorite book and why?
In my free time, I love to read because it allows me to take a break from my own reality and step into the shoes of a fictional character from a different world. My favorite book and series is Throne of Glass written by Sarah J. Mass and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good book to read.
- What is your favorite movie and why?
The Pirates of the Caribbean is my all time favorite movie series to watch. Despite being able to quote all of the lines, I still find myself just as excited re-watching them as I did the first time.
- What volunteer or passion projects do you do outside of work?
My passion project is a 5,000 piece puzzle that I bought a year ago. Puzzles in general are my passion projects but I haven't been able to finish this one since I got it. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to finally put it all together.
- What was your favorite subject in school?
Despite being a science major, my favorite subject in high school was math. Solving the problems became like solving puzzles for me and whenever I would finish one and get the right answer, I always felt a huge sense of accomplishment. Super nerdy, I know.
