Westchester - June
Elaine McLaughlin, Payroll, Westchester
Recognized by Stephanie Gray, Faculty, 麻豆天美传媒 City
Elaine was incredibly helpful when I needed to make a change in UKG. I'm pretty tech savvy but I was worried about doing it correctly as I was still getting used to UKG since I've hadn't had to make any changes for a long time. I was worried I would appear not very tech literate despite doing a lot of tech myself. Elaine patiently walked me through the process even after I read the PDF guide and she didn't make me feel silly for having so many questions.
