Genesee Community College has named Carla Guiste as the January Employee of the Month.
Guiste is said to provide outstanding service in the Copy Center to faculty and staff. She processes duplicating jobs with ease and professionalism and is continually willing to run rush jobs for faculty, particularly at the beginning of the semester when extra copies may be needed due to increased enrollments.
Her turnaround time for work is phenomenal, regardless of the complexity of the job at hand. She does what she can to accommodate requests and does so with a friendly, positive attitude and a smile.
Guiste has worked at the college for more than five years, six months of which were at part-time status. Before coming to Genesee, she worked at Kauffman Footwear for 15 years. After Kauffman's' closed, she worked at a greenhouse and at a gym for women.
At her current position at Genesee's Copy Center, she performs printing and copying for all seven campus locations, including simple printing, brochures, pamphlets, bound books and much more.
"I love so many aspects of working at GCC," Guiste said. "I love the people here, my job and the whole atmosphere here. What a great place to work!"
Guiste is a graduate of Oakfield-Alabama High School and lives in Oakfield with her husband, Jerry Guiste. She has two children Justin Ball (Patty) and Ashley Ball. Outside of work, Carla enjoys gardening, cross-country skiing, walking, spending time with her family and with her dogs that are her pride and joy.
