“The immediacy of helping students in person or on the phone is the hook for me,” Freeman says. “I like being on the front line and helping students.”
One recent challenge involved moving to temporary quarters during a renovation, then moving back to expanded space.
Her colleagues appreciate her contributions. One said, “Kara sets the bar for exceptional customer service at the front desk and on the phone. I am consistently impressed with her genuine desire to help, positive attitude, and vast knowledge of FRCC. Kara was a shining star before and during our moves.”
