Terri Manumik
Secretary

Terri Manumik was born in St. Michael, Alaska, in 1950. She grew up in Chaneliak and Kotlik. She went to school in Kotlik and at St. Mary's Mission from which she graduated in 1969. She attended APU for one year, then spent another year in business school at Anchorage. She was studying to become a secretary and graduated in 1971.

Terri started working in the Marshall School in 1978 and is planning to work here for another six years. She loves her job because it is working with and around kids. And it's different every day. She also enjoys the staff, the atmosphere, and everything about working in the school. Her husband also gives her a lot of support. Tern was first interested in her job because she had to support her kids, have a roof over their heads, feed them, and cloth them.

The training she needed before she got her job was secretarial training. She says in business school they had to learn all the basics such as, math, typing, key punching, job interview skills, getting along with people, and how to dress on the job. Training she has received since becoming the Marshall school secretary is computer training because there were no computers while she was in business school.

She feels that her job keeps her happy because it gives her a reason to get out of the house. The best part of her job is being around the students and staff. The worst part of her job is doing the filing and time cards. Tern says that her family has not affected her job performance since her girls have become adults.
