DT: How long have you been an administrator?
TL: Seven years.
DT: Working with the Dover Air Force Base and Wesley?
TL: Yes, I work for Wesley College, on the Dover Air Force Base. The Air Force has an agreement with Wesley College, which is what we refer to as our MMOU (memorandum of understanding), and in that agreement Wesley College offers and has been offering for 30 years general education classes for the CCAF (Community College of the Air Force) degree.
DT: And those classes are?
TL: Those would be; Humanities, Social Science, Math, Oral Commination, and Written Communication.
DT: Is that for active duty members (full time servicemen)?
TL: That is for active duty members and reservist also. Then, if students are interested or are able to stay in this area and want to matriculate and work toward a degree towards Wesley College, they can as a part- time student.
DT: Do you prefer to work off campus?
TL: I worked on campus in 2000. I started working in the Math and Science department as an administrative assistant. I enjoyed working there also, but I enjoy working on the Base the most.
DT: So how did you end up working on the Base?
TL: There was an opening that I applied for when I saw that it was open. I grew up as a military brat. My father was stationed here, retired here. I just like being on base. Makes me feel closer to my dad.
DT: Did you go to college?
TL: I went to Wesley College.
DT: What was your major?
TL: Executive and Legal Secretary Sciences. I worked at a law firm for a long time downtown, and then I worked at the state Senate for a while, as a Senate caucus’s secretary.
DT: Where are you from?
TL: I’m from Philadelphia. We were stationed in McGwire Air Force Base when I was born, just outside of Philadelphia. We came here when I was a baby, so I have been here since I was a year old, or six months old.
