JOJO A’GOGO
by Paul Goebel, SMMC Director
Johanna joined our team in 2016 as a member of the center’s customer service team. She quickly became a skilled member of that team – exceeding the expectations of her supervisor and students alike. The center is a bit dimmer without her brilliant smile behind the front desk greeting students and her fellow team members.
While we will miss JoJo, we wish her all the best as she prepares to begin a new journey as a graduate pursuing a career in the medical field.
