By Day: Lydia Murphy is our Accounting Specialist, here at the Norcom Avon office. Her days are always changing because she deals with a little bit of everything including, working with 28 different Norcom branches. She is constantly dealing with invoices, checking accounts, payroll requests, fee sheets and any last minute things that may come up. She is constantly staying busy because she works closely with everyone in the office. Since she is a people person, she loves the relationships she has with everyone here at Norcom. She especially loves when the whole company gets together, so she can get to know everyone a little bit better.

By Night: When Lydia is not working at Norcom, she is a dedicated mother to her 3 young children, Brennan, Elena, and Adam. After work, she helps her children with their homework, prepares dinner with the help of her daughter, who loves to cook, and then gets her children ready for bed. Her two youngest children play basketball for Avon, so she squeezes that into her schedule as well. Her free time consists of household chores, visiting her family, and relaxing while watching her children play together. For fun, Lydia enjoys going to sporting events, going out to eat, going to comedy clubs, and having day trips with her kids. Lydia says the reason she is such a great mom is because of her own mother. Her mother is the most important person in her life, because she taught her everything she knows and is still teaching her. Most people don’t know that Lydia was actually born in Montes la Jolie, France and came to America when she was five months old. Her first language was Bosnian, but she forgot most of the language when she started school. Lydia has also lived in Istanbul, Turkey for a year, and her real name is Ilirije. Her first grade teacher could not pronounce her real name, so she called her Lydia, and it stuck with her ever since.
