The Uncommon Life

Uncommon Personalities: Meet Rebecca Doyle

Rebecca Doyle, Operations Team Lead

My hometown…
I was born on an air force base in Illinois, but I spent most of my school age life in Somers, NY, “Cradle of the American Circus.”

I’m inspired by…
My maternal grandparents. They were powerful and consistent examples of right-sized living and honoring their friends and family. I try to emulate them in my own behaviors and interactions with others.

My spirit animal is…
Tiger.

In high school, were you a nerd, geek, jock, a popular kid, an academic achiever, a drama kid, arts kid, juvenile delinquent, mean girl, goth, student body president, or some other type?
I was a “Tusker.” Our HS mascot was a tusked elephant, in honor of the town’s history.

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is…
“Beauty” truly is in the eye of the beholder, is it not? And sometimes, quite personal. That said, I would not want to punk out on the question. One of the most brilliant visions of color saturation and intensity I have ever seen is Big Bird yellow. I have had the unexpected opportunity twice in my life, so far, to see the authentic Big Bird in person. Once, many years ago, at of all places a memorial service, and the second when I turned a corner in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and BB was in a photo shoot.

My favorite process in the UncommonGoods warehouse is…
The new one(s) that we are currently developing and rolling out… We’re always continuing to challenge ourselves to do our work better than we are, with the greatest benefit to all the stakeholders and especially our customer’s experience.

Something that always makes me laugh…
An episode of The Big Bang Theory.

An uncommon fact about me…
People are often surprised to learn that my wife and I have two grandchildren.
