Business Team Spotlight: Meet Danielle Perrigo

By Emily Morrison

It takes a lot of planning and coordination to support the variety of operations at the Thompson Center. Our Business Team is one of the behind-the-scenes groups that makes it all possible! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting the members of this team and looking into how they keep the Thompson Center running. In this spotlight, we will meet Danielle Perrigo, an Office Support Assistant IV for the Thompson Center.

How long have you worked for the Thompson Center?

I started working at the Thompson Center at the beginning of this year.

What are your main job duties?

As an Office Support Assistant IV, I place orders and stock office supplies, handle reimbursements, and assist with any other day-to-day business needs for the Center.

Where are you from?

I grew up in Columbia but now live in Hallsville.

Where did you work before you came to the Thompson Center?

I did billing for University Physicians before starting at the Thompson Center. Before that, I worked down the road at Central Missouri Dermatology where I scheduled patients, put together charts, and whatever else needed to be done to prepare for appointments.

What is your favorite thing about working at the Thompson Center?

My coworkers at the Thompson Center make a great team! I have only been here for a few weeks, but I feel like I have worked here forever.

When you’re not working, what do you enjoy doing?

My two sons keep me very busy with their extracurricular activities. Brock is involved with FFA, golf, and shooting sports. Tison plays baseball, track, football, and wrestling. When we get a break in our sons’ schedules, my husband and I enjoy drag racing.
