While she initially started at HACC’s Lancaster Campus in the 1990s, she returned many years later to complete her degree fully online. She says her background in business, in conjunction with her HACC education, has enabled her to thrive, encourage and supervise others in the business world. She is a supervisor at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre and a distributor for Shaklee Corporation. While attending HACC, she made the dean’s list for the 2017 academic year and was awarded an Academic Commendation Award in recognition of her meritorious achievement in the virtual classroom.
