After working in manufacturing all her life at 39 years old, Alitta Leachman found herself a divorced mother of two. She realized that she needed to take control of her life. Enrolling at OCTC she found she was eligible for the Ready to Work program. She served as a work-study student while earning her Associate in Science degree and became an employee of the college as a Transitional Specialist in the adult education program. Alitta continued her educational path while working at OCTC earning both a Bachelor’s degree in HR from WKU with a double minor in CIS and Entrepreneurship, then going on to earn a Master’sdegree in Human Development and Leadership from MSU.
Alitta applies that same dedication to her job helping students. “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with many students of various cultures and different backgrounds. I enjoy seeing the students achieve their educational, work and personal goals. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I had a part in helping someone take control of their life and achieve their goals.”
With hard work and determination, Alitta made it. And, so can you.
