What is your favorite part of working in Camp Hill SD?
I really love working with a great team of people who genuinely care about each other, the students, the staff, and the community. It makes it easy to recruit candidates when everyone can clearly explain why they love Camp Hill!
What advice do you have for our students?
Just because the first version of your plan doesn't work out doesn't mean that something better isn't right around the corner. When I graduated high school, I didn't know what human resources was; now many years later, it's the career that I love.
