Employee of the Month July: Lends a hand in every situation

It is with pleasure that we honor Phouvanh Chaimontree, Administrative Assistant in Communications & Public Relations, as the July 2022 Employee of the Month.

Phouvanh masters every task to ensure the goals of not only her department, but all of FCSS are met. She is extremely talented as an Administrative Assistant, including her ability to manage projects, develop new ideas, work independently and offer administrative assistance to the Multimedia Services and Graphic Design Services departments. She is self-motivated to learn new skills from office procedures to technology to graphic design. Once an assignment is in her hands, you can consider it done correctly, efficiently and with creativity. She meets the complex role of an Administrative Assistant, but her true excellence is in her desire and ability to help others at FCSS reach their goals.

Phouvanh is one of the "go to" people at FCSS, whether it's working on an event or volunteering for one. Recent examples of her incredible work assisting other departments in achieving success are College Night, Academic Decathlon, African American Student Leadership Conference, Teen Parent Conference, Science Fair and Health Services Open House. Although these departments are not within her areas of responsibility, Phouvanh offers her expertise to assist them with Zoom, planning, logistics and materials.

Phouvanh is well-respected by her peers throughout FCSS and especially within her third-floor team. She is uplifting to everyone and is always one of the first to lend a hand in every situation. She is a joy to work with and is truly one of the jewels of FCSS!
