After life stepped in several years ago, I headed South to North Carolina from New Jersey to start a new life and landed in a career that I had never ever dreamed of. Workforce Development was very new to me and as I traversed the waters of being a Job Coach I found that helping disadvantaged people find employment and develop a new skillset was something that I was good at and enjoyed. Moving up through the ranks within Workforce Development for the last 10 + years and landing in my current role as a Career Center Manager, I have had the opportunity to help many people get a hand up in meeting their life's goals. To this day I still get approached in the grocery store or other places in the community where people thank me for making a difference. That is one of the greatest satisfactions in doing what I do.
