Summary
I have worked for Lee County WSC going on 11 years. I started in the field as an equipment operator and moved up to a water operator from there. In that time I have gotten my Class C ground water license and a Customer Service Inspection (CSI) license. I moved into the office October of 2021 taking on my new roll as Asst. General Manager. I have really enjoyed being in the office and dealing with the public from meter sets to new construction. I have always said since I hired on that LCWSC is a great place to work. I am very proud to be a part of this corporation and would love to continue my work here for the corporation
