In the month of October we
had two new Project Specialists join our team! Please welcome our new FLATERS!
We are very thrilled to have them back and so are they! Elizabeth Duran will be
working on data analysis from event surveys and also with our FLATE graphics. Natasha Crissien will be
focused in coordinating the ATE Community Joint Displays in addition to all
FLATE events and our FLATE Focus monthly newsletter. They both will be the face
for FLATE in some of our conferences and exhibits we attend. Elizabeth and
Natasha have both worked for FLATE in the past and after a brief hiatus they
have returned with newly acquired skills and are ready to put into good use. Here’s what they have to
say!
Hello, my name is Elizabeth
Duran. I work on analyzing data for
FLATE using different resources that are available to me, and also work on
their graphics. I have been working with FLATE for approximately three years
now. I began my FLATE journey back in 2015 as a Student Assistant affiliated
with HCC and slowly progressed further into my career and am now very happy
with my new Project Specialist role. I graduated with my Associates degree in
Computer Science from Hillsborough Community College and am looking forward on
pursuing my Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida. I’m excited
for whats to come and for being able to play and active role in the STEM
movement.
Hello everyone! My name
is Natasha Crissien, I previously worked for FLATE as the Project Assistant and
coordinated the ATE Community joint displays from start to finish while
dabbling in different projects. The projects I worked on included the Project
Highlights, updating the FLATE website, and tinkering with the graphics on our
Wiki page. Back then, I was pursuing an Associate’s degree in Business
Administration and Management at Hillsborough Community College and, after a
short break, I am now continuing my education by working to obtain my
Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a focus on clinical and counseling at St.
Leo University. My life has changed drastically since the last time I was
employed with FLATE. I now have a toddler that looks up to me and it is very
fulfilling to not only further my education for myself but also set an example
for him and provide for my family. I do not have any other relatives that
reside in FL so I welcome new friendships with open arms and really enjoy
having a work family. With that being said I'm very happy to be back at FLATE
seeing a few friendly faces and meeting my new colleagues.
