Sandra Rodriguez:  

rved on the finance committe and the student activities committee. I graduated summa cum laude with an Associate in Community and Social Services and double minors in sociology and psychology. I won another scholarship and transferred to the University of Denver. I didn't care for it, so I transferred back to Metropolitan State College. I prefer an urban setting. At Metro I earned my bachelor degree in Criminal Justice with an emphasis on Youth Advocacy. Workplace The first job I had was cleaning office buildings with Red Sands. Later on that experience came in handy when I cleaned new construction homes. I worked as a peer counselor at Metropolitan State College and I had several jobs at the Rocky Mountain News first as a judge for the football contest, then in Customer Service and finally as secretary for the downtown office. I went to Lutheran Medical Center for better pay, first as the receptionist for the credit department, then as a collector. I moved with my boss to American Banco. I worked part time for Pepsi until my son was born. My lastest addition to my resume is homeschool teacher for two very bright and willing students, my kids Ramon and Emily and I anticipate this job lasting approximately 15 more years until I hand them over to a university! Last year my husband got laid off after ten years with Lockheed Martin and we decided to start our own business, One Way Or Another Remodeling. I am in charge of all the office work, payroll, billing, estimates, and marketing. Ramon and Emily both work as well, Ramon on site and Emily in marketing and office. So far we are doing great and can hardly keep up with business, which is 90% referrals.
