(HARLINGEN) – Linda Ramon is described as a person with great energy and determination, has been with Texas State Technical College for 16 years, works as a staff assistant in the department of online learning and is TSTC\u2019s June Employee Spotlight honoree.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy. This award was unexpected,\u201d said the 55-year-old. \u201cI\u2019m very appreciative of my colleagues for nominating me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Carrizo Springs native is not only an employee of TSTC, but also an alumna. She first graduated in 1982, when TSTC was still TSTI, with a certificate in Automated Office Technology. Ramon then returned and earned an associate degree in 2001 in Business Office Technology.<\/p>\n

Ramon grew up knowing that education was important. She recalls her mother always telling her that she needed to graduate from high school and earn a college degree. It was always a promise she wanted to keep.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom has passed now, but I still want to make her proud and show her that I took her advice to heart,\u201d she said. \u201cI also want this to be a good example for my children. They need to see that it\u2019s never too late to make your dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramon hopes to get a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration in the near future.<\/p>\n

It is this desire for education and willingness to always lend a hand that her colleagues say make her deserving of this award.<\/p>\n

One comment on her certificate read, \u201cLinda Ramon works great with students\u2026she is patient and takes her time to answer all of their questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another reads, \u201cLinda is always a team player and lends her knowledge in any way she can. TSTC is a great place to work because of Linda\u2026she helps build a strong TSTC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramon explains that she knew TSTC was the place she needed to be since working at the campus as a student worker.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see myself retiring from TSTC,\u201d said Ramon. \u201cI love this place, it\u2019s a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
