REBECCA "BECKY" ANN RISCH
My name is Rebecca "Becky" Ann Risch. I have two degrees, In 1996 I graduated from Purdue University from the School of Consumer Family Sciences and in 2003 I graduated from the School of Technology. So naturally I love my alma mater, Go Boilers!

WHAT I DO
Currently I am the Administrative Assistant of the Commercial Department of Coldwell Banker Commercial Shook. In addition, I m a licensed real estate agent. When I first moved back to Lafayette, IN I submitted a cover letter with my resume to a PO Box in the Journal and Courier. I received a phone call and interviewed with the Director of Sales, Lu Ann Heitert.
I began my job at The Shook Agency on May 18th, 2005 as the Residential Relocation Director and Commercial Administrative Assistant for Coldwell Banker - Shook in Lafayette, IN. I am in a position where I have authority, but there is a support/foundation as well. I am able to have ideas where they are discussed and either implemented or incorporated. I love my job! I have not truly said that about my job/career in a long time.
I formerly worked as an assistant food and beverage director at the TPC at Southwind in Memphis, TN. I also have worked as a customer service specialist for Allied Automation, a industrial distributor in Indianapolis and I was a Property Manager of a 216-unit apartment community in Muncie, IN.
I also spread my time throughout the community in different volunteer capacities. I am on the Purdue Club of Tippecanoe County Board of Directors. I spent a large part of time with the Young Professionals group on the professional development and special events and 5K committees.

4-H FAIR QUEEN PAGEANT
This summer I am judging four county fair queen pageants. Benton County, Clinton County, Warren County and White County. My perspective of the fair queen pageants is that each young ladiy is applying for a job. Each candidate wants to be ambassadors for their county fair. Their job is to promote the 4-H program or their county fair each year. My job is to help develop them in the interviewing and judging process. In the interview, I try to pull experiences from the young ladies biography. If they are good, then I don't really need to ask them questions, they just talk and naturely promote themself.
I was in 4-H for four years, I am a former 4-H Leader in Boone County and have served as a volunteer in many areas involving the 4-H program. My pageant involvement began in 1994 as a Miss Tippecanoe County candidate as well as having worked from 1994 - 1996 as an assistant of the Miss Tippecanoe County Pageant program. I served as a judge for the Miss Indiana National Teenager Pageant and for numerous Indiana county pageants. (Montgomery, Tipton, Howard, Warren, Clinton, Cass, Newton, Burton, White Fulton and Porter County). I assisted in picking the 2003 Miss Porter County winner Miss Tiffany Ann Miller, whom went on to win the 2004 Miss Indiana State Fair Queen Pageant.
