CCC Cares Employee Spotlight

What is your role at Camden County College?
Administrative Assistant for the Division of Workforce Development and Community Partnerships

When did you begin your role?
July 7th, 2025 (started at the college in 2016)

What has been your favorite part of working here so far?
The incredibly welcoming team and the opportunity to interact face-to-face with students who are compassionate and eager to build their futures.

Which of your professional accomplishments are you most proud of?
One of the professional accomplishments I’m most proud of is gaining a deep understanding of the funding opportunities available to students pursuing alternative education pathways, particularly trade training. As someone who did not qualify for traditional financial aid and personally experienced the frustration of trying to pay for schooling, I understand how discouraging it can be to navigate funding options—especially since many non-credit trade programs aren’t eligible for financial aid. Over the years working in this division, I’ve become highly knowledgeable about a wide range of funding programs and have been able to clearly and confidently guide students through their options, both within our institution and beyond. Being able to connect students with training opportunities that require little to no out-of-pocket cost has been incredibly rewarding. While learning the details of each program was a process, it has been truly worth it to hear students share how removing financial barriers allowed them to pursue meaningful, purpose-driven careers.

Do you ever imagine yourself in another occupation? If so, which one and why?
Yes, I could definitely see myself as a math teacher. In high school, I tutored students in various math subjects, and I really enjoyed helping them understand not just the answers, but the why and how behind the numbers. I’ve always loved math, especially when I can help others gain confidence in it.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
I’d love to travel to Greece—not only for its incredible history, but also because I’m a huge fan of Mamma Mia and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Between the culture, the scenery, and the movie nostalgia, it feels like a place that would be both meaningful and fun to experience.

What’s your favorite book/movie genre or your all-time favorite title?
Romance

Coffee, tea, or something else entirely?
Columbian Roast with extra cream and sugar please
