I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Family Community Services. I knew from an early point that the Human Service field was a perfect fit for me because I would be able to find a position that allowed me to directly work with individuals in the community where I lived. I was fortunate through networking with friends to find out about an employment opportunity within Capital Area Michigan Works!. I was hired and worked for several years in Workforce Development as a case-manager for the different programs served at Capital Area Michigan Works! prior to transitioning recently to the Quality Assurance Officer role.
This position has been an ideal match for my skill set as it allows me to oversee the monitoring, reporting, and compliance for several programs at Capital Area Michigan Works and also to work with the various federal grants managed in our office. One of the things I like best about my current role is that I am able to provide direct assistance to the different agencies and contractors that service the grants in our office. It's very rewarding to know that the programs we offer at Capital Area Michigan Works! directly impact the lives of individuals in our community and assist them in returning to the workforce.
