Q–What do you love about your job?
A–I feel very fortunate to be working at LHS as the Data Entry Specialist. I am responsible for processing report cards and interims as well as assisting with setting up classes, updating transcripts and all data pertaining to our students. I process reports as requested by administrators, counselors and staff. I am located at the entrance to the counseling office and am able to interact with students and staff which I enjoy. Prior to working for WJCC my job was being a full time mother to my two sons, who are both now in college. They still keep me busy but I enjoy every minute of being their mom. My favorite subject in school was art. I enjoyed painting and drawing. After graduating from college I moved to Washington DC and worked in Human Resources. I continued in that field for 10 years until having my children and becoming a full time mom.
