After 35 years as a teacher and principal I retired and moved to the Portland area. Landed a job with Townepark as a shuttle driver and in the year and a half with the company I worked my way up to an Associate Account Manager. Loved my team and I love working with people. unfortunately I was apart of the COVID 19 lay offs. On June 16th a Payroll Management position fell into my lap and I grabbed it. Transco Industries has been amazing to work for as I learn my new position. I care for the people so my excitement is to make sure our employees are paid, and paid correctly. It's important to me. After 60 days as Payroll Manager I was promoted to HR/payroll Manager. I was excited for this new adventure. Well, the new adventure came to an end as they started reorganizing the Office Staff and was laid off again March 1, 2021. August 2021 I was hired at Rainier Springs in Vancouver WA. as their Talent Acquisition Manager. I'm excited for this new adventure in helping people find a new career. I'll be still teaching at Mt Hood Community College in the evening.
