Upon graduating from college in 1992, I spent six years in business working my way up from an answering service operator to an office administrator. The skills & experience I received through that time were valuable as I transitioned to the field of education, a field that I trained for originally. I then spent nine years as a teacher in both the public and private sectors. Even that experience has helped me to grow in my craft. Now, I serve our viewing public and our station as a liaison between the two. The best part - I get to work on my writing skills as well. Maybe someday I will be an accomplished author or columnist thanks to my experiences here.
