Meet Wendy Hinkle Taquino 💚
Wendy is part of our accounting department, and quite honestly, she’s one of those people who makes everything and everyone better.
She is kind, caring, loving, and deeply compassionate, with a strength and determination that inspires everyone around her. It’s no exaggeration to say that Wendy is someone people genuinely love and admire.
She may work in collections, but she’s the nicest collections professional you’ll ever meet. Wendy leads with empathy, grace, and respect, always making sure others feel seen, acknowledged, and valued. Her kindness isn’t occasional, it’s the center of how she lives every single day.
Beyond work, Wendy is a professional singer with a truly gifted voice. She loves her husband, Eric, her adorable dog Bella, and her black coffee. She also loves connecting with people, singing at church, a good walk in nature, and soaking up sunshine. She smiles often, chooses to see the best in people, and brings light wherever she goes.
Wendy is also courageously living with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), a rare and aggressive form of cancer. February is , and we want to honor Wendy, not only for her strength in this journey, but for the incredible person she is.
Our hope is to help raise awareness and support Wendy and others facing this disease. We are so grateful for Wendy. She is magnificent, resilient, and deeply loved. 💚
