After Hours, Your Captioning Agent Shares Cheetos with Her Bunny

Spencer joined CaptionCall about two-and-a-half years ago after a friend told her about what we do. She says she was excited about the mission, the focus on quality, and the chance to make a difference every day.
Wanting so much to make people’s lives a little easier through her work makes it that much harder to hear people try to do harm over the phone. Spencer says the most difficult part of being a captioning agent is handling calls where it’s clear — to her — that someone is trying to take advantage of our customers.*
“What I like most about what I do is knowing, at the end of the day, that I might have made someone else’s day a little easier. There are problems that we all face in daily life, and having a job that focuses on communication is one that I value greatly.”

Another aspect of being a captioning agent that appealed to Spencer was the opportunity to do it from home. Working remotely allows her to be close to her family — both humans and pets. Her family has a “small” farm, with miniature pot-belly pigs, chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks, dogs, cats, a goat, and four rabbits. And yes, one of those rabbits (named Blue) has a soft spot for Cheetos that Spencer shares, so the two snack together.
While Spencer and Blue would say Cheetos are a good year ‘round snack, when summer rolls around she likes to beat the heat by cooking outside, throwing some burgers or steak on the grill. If you’re itching to do some grilling yourself, maybe try your hand at the Honey Garlic Salmon in our Summer Recipes for Hearing Health.
