Staff Spotlight: Timishia Bannister

December 1, 2023 2 Comments

Big smile, long dark curly hair, long eyelashes
Timishia Bannister
Hi, my name is Timishia Bannister, the ASA’s new customer service representative, and here are a few fun facts about me. I was born and raised in Washington, DC, but I am a current resident of Alexandria, Virginia. Most of my family lives in the area, though I do have family in different parts of North Carolina and Georgia.

I have been in customer service for a little more than 10 years now, first retail, then corporate, and now associations. I have worked in the association field for about four years. 

I am a travel fanatic. I love to travel! My favorite vacation of all time was going to New Orleans, Louisiana. I have traveled to different states (Georgia, Nevada, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida) and different countries (Mexico, Jamaica, and St. Lucia). I traveled to Jamaica and Mexico alone! I love seeing new things and experiencing new areas, food, etc. 

Coming to the ASA has been such a pleasurable experience. Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful, and I am honored and grateful to be part of the ASA team. One of my favorite things about working at the ASA is the conferences. The conferences are informative, and I learn a lot while attending them. This year was my first year going to the Joint Statistical Meetings and ASA Biopharmaceutical Section Regulatory-Industry Statistics Workshop and I have to say I enjoyed both. I will be attending the Conference on Statistical Practice in February and am looking forward to it.
