Pero lo que la distingue es todo el trabajo que realiza fuera de su descripci\u00f3n de funciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKathy ha sido una empleada dedicada en este importante proyecto\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/es\/listings\/auditorium-theatre-of-roosevelt-university-chicago\/\">Auditorio Teatro<\/a> for more than 15 years, and she truly goes above and beyond for the Auditorium and its staff,\u201d said Lily Oberman, Associate Director of Communications for the theater. \u201cKathy has babysat campers from our summer camp program, Hearts to Art, when their caretakers were running late (even taking the kids to Harold&#8217;s Chicken Shack for dinner); stayed up late finding a doctor to help a famous opera singer with laryngitis; and driven artists across town. Kathy is our \u2018office mom.\u2019 Our institution truly would not run without her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/12.17.19-Loop-Employee-of-the-Month-Kathy-Bliss-5-credit-Hummingbird-Studios-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Bliss dice que ha o\u00eddo el apodo de \u201cmadre de la oficina\u201d y puede entender por qu\u00e9 sus colegas lo utilizan; le atrae el tipo de trabajo que apoya a los dem\u00e1s y es en esos tipos de roles donde se siente m\u00e1s feliz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEn cuanto a hacer un trabajo administrativo y aspirar a un puesto muy alto, sinceramente nunca he tenido ese deseo\u201d, dijo Bliss. \u201cHe aprendido que incluso las personas en puestos de liderazgo necesitan un equipo de apoyo que los ayude a realizar el gran trabajo que hacen. As\u00ed que s\u00e9 que he encontrado mi nicho\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Bliss ve su vida profesional en tres fases: primero, trabaj\u00f3 en un entorno muy corporativo y con fines de lucro. Luego, cri\u00f3 a sus hijos en casa. Y finalmente, se incorpor\u00f3 al Auditorium Theatre. Durante sus primeros seis meses, trabajaba a tiempo parcial atendiendo llamadas telef\u00f3nicas. Luego obtuvo un puesto administrativo a tiempo completo, y un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s asumi\u00f3 su actual posici\u00f3n. Aunque Bliss siempre ha disfrutado de tareas administrativas y de trabajar tras las escenas para ayudar a los colegas, dijo que poder realizar este tipo de trabajo en un lugar como el Auditorium le aporta un nivel adicional de satisfacci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCuando empec\u00e9 a atender las llamadas telef\u00f3nicas, no pod\u00eda creer la cantidad de personas que eran de fuera de Chicago y que conoc\u00edan este edificio y quer\u00edan verlo\u201d, dijo ella. \u201cHabl\u00e9 con tantas personas que har\u00edan cualquier cosa para encontrar tiempo para llegar hasta aqu\u00ed, especialmente en el mundo de la arquitectura. Fue una especie de verificaci\u00f3n de la realidad para m\u00ed. Este edificio es realmente importante y \u00fanico\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/12.17.19-Loop-Employee-of-the-Month-Kathy-Bliss-1-credit-Hummingbird-Studios-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">El teatro no solo es un hermoso monumento hist\u00f3rico nacional, sino que tambi\u00e9n alberga algunas de las mejores presentaciones de danza de la ciudad, y Bliss siempre ha sido una apasionada de la danza y el ballet. Ella dijo que una de las cosas que m\u00e1s le gustan de trabajar en el Loop es que siempre hay algo sucediendo, siempre hay algo que ver \u2014y ese es exactamente el tipo de ambiente en el que se siente muy c\u00f3moda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe hecho ambas cosas: he trabajado y vivido en la ciudad, y tambi\u00e9n he trabajado y vivido en un entorno m\u00e1s rural; me encantan las ciudades\u201d, dijo ella. \u201cHay algo especial en la vida y el esp\u00edritu de una ciudad que me inspira. Y lo que m\u00e1s me gusta de la zona de Loop es que nunca tienes que preguntarte: \u2018\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa hoy?\u2019, aqu\u00ed siempre sucede algo, y est\u00e1 literalmente al alcance de tu mano. Me encantan los museos, me encantan los conciertos al aire libre gratuitos, disfrutar de las vistas, disfrutar del lago\u2026 todo eso.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Bliss dijo que el hecho de ser nombrada Trabajadora del Mes de Loop fue una sorpresa porque siempre se contenta trabajando en el fondo de las cosas. Es f\u00e1cil olvidar lo importante que es el papel de cada persona en el gran esquema de una organizaci\u00f3n como el Auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFue muy humillante. Lo primero que me vino a la cabeza fue que era solo un trabajo, y no merec\u00eda ning\u00fan reconocimiento. D\u00e9jeme quedarme aqu\u00ed y hacerlo\u201d, dijo con una sonrisa. \u201cPero obviamente estoy muy complacida y feliz y, de nuevo, muy agradecida.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>\u00bfConoce a alguien que trabaja en el Loop y merece reconocimiento por el gran trabajo que realiza?<\/strong> Nominalenlos para el premio Loop Empleado del Mes.
