I was a receptionist and now I\u2019m sharing the office manager responsibilities.

Just school and work, is all my life is. I do a lot of side work on vehicles\u2014it\u2019s not an official job. If I\u2019m not at school, doing schoolwork, I\u2019m working or sleeping. I will probably be teaching in the automotive department, hopefully, as long as the school sees fit to hire me. I\u2019ve already started the process on that, so hopefully I\u2019ll get that job. . . I would say [I am proud of myself], I\u2019m a minority in [automotive programs] and I hope to expand and help welcome other females and other minorities to show that yes, we can do it, I was able to do it so you can too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reporting and photos by<br \/>\n<strong>Maggie Stacey<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Staff Writer<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
