Crystal Wessing
Office of Administration Interim Director of Facilities, Management, Design and Construction

"We’re encouraged to challenge ourselves and we’re given the freedom to solve old problems in new ways.  This is a great place to work if you are someone like me who enjoys challenging the “that’s how it’s always been done” mindset through continuous process improvement. This has allowed us to improve our level of service to the citizens of our state and hopefully sets the bar for what they can come to expect from state government."

"I appreciate that I am encouraged to challenge myself.  I get to do what I enjoy every day, which is creating content, but I also like that no two days are the same because of the diverse work we do as a team in the Office of Communications and Outreach. I also appreciate that I am encouraged to challenge myself and take part in professional development opportunities that will help me both as a state employee and as a person."
