One ĢƵ employee uses her knack for gathering facts to solve problems in her field.
Elise Borne, a paralegal for the Office of General Counsel, has been at ĢƵ for a little over a year now.
Borne said her favorite part about her job is working with genuine people who want to make ĢƵ the best it can be.
The Ohio native, who now calls Lexington home, is the mother of 7-year-old twins.
“I am a baseball mom, assist with my daughter’s Girl Scout troop and am active in my children’s school,” Borne said.
Borne previously worked in public education, which led her to ĢƵ.
“I was looking for a way to expand my knowledge base beyond P-12,” Borne said. “Moving to higher education was the perfect transition for me and I instantly felt at home at ĢƵ.”
Borne said the skill she is most proud of is her adaptability.
“My grandfather, father and cousin are all war veterans who fought in the infantry. If there is anyone who knows how to adapt, it’s an infantry soldier,” Borne said. “I have always been taught that the ability to thrive in any type of environment allows you to get the job done no matter what the circumstance.”
Borne has used her adaptability and other skills to help move #KSUForward.
“I am proud to be a part of the ĢƵ family because of all the progress occurring on campus,” Borne said. “I feel like we are moving in the right direction and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for ĢƵ.”
