How did your LLCC experience help you to find your first position or career path? 

I began my journey at LLCC with ESL classes, which provided me with the foundation to learn, speak and write in English more effectively. This experience not only improved my ability to communicate in both professional and everyday situations, but it also gave me the confidence to express myself clearly. Gaining these skills allowed me to advance in the workplace and ultimately shaped the direction of my career path. 

What’s your favorite or most unforgettable memory of being a Logger? 

My favorite and most unforgettable memory of being a Logger is the lifelong connections I built. The friendships and sense of community I found at LLCC truly feel like family, and those relationships continue to have a lasting impact on my life. 

Describe your LLCC experience in five words. 

Motivating, family-oriented, welcoming, supportive, empowering.
