BRENDA KEEN Business Manager The Georgia Review TIME IN CURRENT POSITION: Two years. JOB DESCRIPTION: “I am responsible for all the financial aspects of the magazine--accounting, personnel paperwork, ad sales, marketing correspondence and record keeping.” A TYPICAL DAY AT WORK: “My job is so varied that no day is typical. Everything depends on where I am in the accounting cycle or the publishing cycle and dealing with everything that comes along.” THE MOST REWARDING PART OF MY JOB: “Getting to read the issue when it comes out. I also like making payments to our contributors because I appreciate the value of people being rewarded for their artistic endeavors.” THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF MY JOB: “Just keeping up with all the work and dealing with the university’s bureaucracy.” OTHER UGA EXPERIENCE: “I worked in the citizen education division at the Vinson Institute of Government for 10 years. There, I learned about government and worked on seminars for teachers and an eighth-grade textbook called The Georgia Studies Book. OTHER WORK EXPERIENCES: “I’ve had a wide range of jobs--from processing Medicare claims for an insurance company to managing a retail bookstore. I was head cashier at a health food store, and I worked on an oyster farm on San Juan Island in Washington, packing and shipping oysters to restaurants all over the country.” IF I WERE NOT DOING THIS JOB, I WOULD MOST LIKE TO: “Be a citizens’ advocate and help shape public policy for the good of people instead of corporations.” OFF-THE-JOB INTERESTS: “Spending time with my daughter, reading and organic gardening.” FAVORITE MUSIC: “Jazz and world music. I like the Neville Brothers, Jimmy Cliff and the Grateful Dead.” BOOKS I WOULD RECOMMEND TO OTHERS: “A People’s History of the United States: 1942 to the Present by Howard Zinn and Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss. Both books illustrate the difference one person can make and the importance of people working together.” THE PERSON I MOST ADMIRE: “Jesus of Nazareth. I admire his teachings on how to change the world with love. Unfortunately people have not learned this yet.” THE ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME MOST ABOUT TODAY’S WORLD: “Corporatization, which is subverting democracy. I think people should always come before profit.”
