Prior to working at Lenfest, Ms. Willis was at the Temple Health Science Campus for 31 years. She started as a file clerk at the Otolaryngology Department (ENT) and was promoted to several positions with office administration, her last position being Office Manager. It was a great experience assisting staff, Physicians, and patients. She learned so many skills but the most important skill she developed was customer service. This allowed her to give patients the best experience and assistance when visiting the department.
Ms. Willis is very proud to work for Temple University's Lenfest Community Center for Workforce Partnerships and looks forward to the future accomplishments and assistance to the community.
