“I started in 2007 as a volunteer. I was teaching seventh and eighth grade English when we moved here for my husband's job. I didn’t have a job at the time, so I called the Literacy Center and asked if they were hiring. They weren’t, but had volunteer work and I needed something to do, so I worked in the office for a little bit and then started as a tutor at the GST Michigan Works office that we have in Lapeer. Over time I worked in a bunch of different areas, and eventually became the Assistant Executive Director.
