Tina Baptista | Accounts Payable

Tina Baptista works in Strategic’s Accounts Payable Department! Prior to her role at Strategic, Tina gained experience from various office environments as she and her husband frequently had to relocate due to his Army career. Tina states, “The most rewarding aspect of my job at Strategic is being able to help mentor anyone, especially if they are new to the company. I remember when I first started at Strategic. I was nervous and anxious about not making a mistake. I try to help new hires understand that this is a learning process, and mistakes are just part of it.” The best career lesson she’s learned since being with Strategic is to prioritize. “Since I have been here, Kathy has most definitely taught me how to prioritize my daily tasks and duties”, continues Tina.  “I don’t think I ever realized how important it was until I was here at Strategic”. Outside of work Tina enjoys doing graphic design and is very active in Pit Bull advocacy. In addition, she enjoys watching her favorite TV show, Brooklyn 99!
