CCC Cares Employee Spotlight

What is your role at Camden County College?
Basic Needs Coordinator.

When did you begin your role?
I began in February 2022 as a Work Study for the Marketplace student food pantry. That May I moved into the Food Pantry Associate for the Marketplace in a part time capacity. This September my role has expanded into a full-time position, offering expanded hours to our students along with additional resources to support student basic needs.

What has been your favorite part of working here so far?
Watching the transformation of students as their confidence evolves. From our first introduction in the Marketplace to watching our students walk across the commencement stage, has by far been my favorite part of working at CCC!

Do you ever imagine yourself in another occupation? If so, which one and why?
A few years ago, I did. After spending many years in upper management levels in the food and retail industry, I enrolled here at CCC in an applied science program. However, joining the Marketplace student food pantry reignited my passion for helping others through customer service and merchandising.

What’s a fun fact about yourself that most people wouldn’t know?
During my time as Store Manager in my previous career, the show Modern Marvels filmed a segment at our flagship store in Egg Harbor Township. I worked with the production crew over three days, and my team and I had the chance to be part of the final feature.
