Introducing Humans of OCS — a new monthly spotlight celebrating the people who make OCS who we are.

Each month, we’ll feature a couple of team members with fun facts, quick Q&As, and a little glimpse behind the scenes.

First up: Mandi from Applications, who has been with OCS for almost four years and brings plenty of personality to the team — including one very impressive, totally useless talent.
