Spotlight on Connie Gilliard
Connie Gilliard is the newest member of the Assessment Center Team!
- Why did you decide to work at Lake Tech? My desire to be close to family brought me to Lake County. I have always had a great love for the technical college environment and was elated to find that Lake County has one. I attended Westside Vocational Tech in Winter Garden and Denver Technical College in Colorado Springs. My son and daughter also attended Westside.
- What are your hobbies or interests? My family and I love camping, hiking and geocaching.
- Do you have a pet and if so, what kind. We have four cats, two inside and two outside. We also have Bo, an American Staffordshire Terrier/Poodle mix. He serves as a support companion for my daughter. And we have three fish tanks.
- What is something that would surprise us about you? Many years ago, I taught Shooting Sports at the BSA Camp LaNoChe. I being a native of Apopka have always had a love for these events. But it wasn’t until I took the Marine Corps weapons qualification course, that my passion for weapons was captivated.
