She floated around roper for 7 years in the Resource pool and received many offers for permanent positions, but told them that the only place she would settle down in was our Health Services Center! Sherese genuinely loves her job, “It doesn’t feel like a job to me.” The best piece of advice she has ever been given, “I remember my high school track coach told me when I was struggling to pick a major in college. He said if you find something that you truly love to do it won’t feel like a job and you won’t get tired of doing it. It will make each day worthwhile.”
