If you want to give back to your community, walk down the Human Resources path. The careers along this path span a wide spectrum - from educating children to protecting neighborhoods to responding to accidents to serving the public as an elected official. The careers in these pathways are varied but are rooted in a general principle: to work with people and help others in need.

What was your path to get where you are today?

"My passion for being outside started me on my career path. I grew up being outdoors and exploring the natural surroundings. When I started college, I was set on architecture, but found that being inside the classroom learning about the theories of design was not hands on enough for me. I craved an education based upon experiences and quickly transferred into the Recreation Department where I could learn about and practice the experiences that I had enjoyed since I was a child."
