Masharzi McCann loves WSPT. She should, as WSPT’s longest tenured employee, she’s been with the company since 2005! She’s seen the office move from St. Raymond’s Avenue, to 1200 Waters Place, to our current location at 1250 Waters Place. Her favorite moments during those transitions? “When Danny would buy us food!”
Masharzi (Sharzi for short) started working at WSPT during her junior year at Lehman High School. Now enrolled at Hunter College as a (what else?) Physical Therapy major, Sharzi has seen the company grow a lot over the last five years. After working with thousands of patients, many left wondering ‘who is that girl?’
Sharzi is first and foremost a lover of foods. She lists her favorites, in order, as IHOP Buttermilk Pancakes, roast pork sandwiches, and mac ‘n’ cheese. She loves to go out and find new restaurants and foods, but when she’s not hungry, she likes to go to Broadway shows, jazz concerts and pool halls. She’s a freestyle rapper, a playwright, and describes herself as a “Tekken mastermind.”
She loves the music of Celia Cruz, Elvis Crespo, and Beyonce.
Her favorite movies are West Side Story, For Colored Girls, and He’s Just Not That Into You (although she’s heard the book is better.) She has fond memories of her early days at the company, when she used to work 12-hour days with Kristina, a former employee.
“Those were good times, mainly because Danny would buy us dinners a lot,” she said, laughing. “Notice how it always comes back to food.”
