Nancy Ekstrom
Nancy is a star employee who goes above and beyond on a daily basis. She is a pleasure to work with, kind, friendly, and caring. She is also fully dedicated to HGTC, driven, extremely detail oriented, and passionate about what she does. She works tremendously hard for her division and everyone involved, and always ensures that everything and everyone is taken care of. Our division is quite large, and Nancy’s responsibilities have only continued to grow over the last year. She has taken on the additional responsibility with a smile, and always makes you feel appreciated and welcomed when you enter the Dean’s suite. She is a true asset to this college and our division, and I am truly proud to work side-by-side with her.
