How HDFS Helped to Prepare Her: “ Outside of the paperwork, my job is basically interacting with our employees (Ages 14-80), from the moment they apply to the moment they leave our employment, and whatever happens in between. My education has helped me better understand people, build relationships, how to encourage people, and when necessary, correct inappropriate behavior.”
