Life Has Its Ups and Downs
My name is Kerry Sauer. I have lived in the Kohlsville area my entire life.
After I graduated from high school, I attended Moraine Park Technical College and enrolled in their Legal Secretary Program. I graduated with an Associate Degree in May of 1992.
Since my graduation, I have worked in various office environments, all of which I enjoyed. During my career, I noticed that larger companies were a good fit for me. Larger companies provide more opportunities for advancement and give you the opportunity to work with diverse people.
I got to a stage in life where I decided that it was time to go back to school and further my education. I knew that it would not be easy, but I could do it.
In the fall of 2018, I enrolled in the Office Assistant program (now called the Virtual Assistant program). I chose this program to update my skills and open new opportunities. This program allows me to utilize my strong skills such as customer service and organization. When I graduate in the spring of 2020 with my Office Assistant Technical Diploma, I want to focus on finding employment in the health care, insurance, or manufacturing fields.
Working at Salem United Methodist Church as Administrative Coordinator allows me to use my current skills and apply what I have learned in school. I can also focus on my customer service skills when dealing with parishioners.
I chose Moraine Park because it has convenient locations which allow me to go to school and to work. The entire staff is helpful. I can communicate with my instructors through phone calls or emails to assist me with any assignments or questions that I have. I would encourage anyone to attend and capture the Moraine Park experience. Moraine Park offers students the opportunity to join a variety of clubs. By joining a club, students can interact with their peers that work in the same business area. You can discuss similarities and difference of where you work. You can also discuss potential employment opportunities.
