In 1997 I was in an auto accident that left my back messed up to the point that I could no longer work with the children because of the lifting, etc. I then transferred to a clerical position and from there, I promoted to my current position, which is Human Services Specialist for Medi-Cal and Food Stamps. I enjoy this job almost as much as I did working with the children because I know I am helping those that need it.
I have been a County employee for almost 13 years now and hope to retire at 20 years. I figure then I'll still be young enough to travel and see the world.
I would love to touch base with some of my former classmates.
