First of all, I love semi-retirement. Working since I was 15yrs, following in my mothers’ footsteps. My mother was a switchboard operator in Cornwall, Canada. When I started at 15 yrs., I was working at Massena Central High school during the summer as a switchboard operator. Going forward, working as a secretary, customer service, short order/prep cook, I was working at Hinsdale Hospital, Il. Then I transferred to Doctors’ Answering Service and worked the switchboard at the hospital. Was there for 11 years. Moved to North Carolina and worked in a sewing factory making rugs. I have a few rugs that I made, they are still holding up… lol I loved to travel, from Virginia to Hawaii and in between. Now my feet stay on the ground. When my fiancé was here, we did a lot of camping up north (Alex Bay) and down south (Finger Lakes). Now I am working at CFLR, (8yrs) I love my job. My boss, Cassandra and all my co-workers are wonderful to work with. Great experience. Last of all, stay positive and smile.

Hello, my name is Dominica Liscio. I am originally from Herkimer, NY. I have been the Office Coordinator here at CFLR for about 8 months and absolutely love it! CFLR is such a great place to work, we are like a big family. I was supposed to get married in September but due to Covid we unfortunately had to postpone. We however, are trying to make light of this crazy time. I love spending time with my fiancé, my friends and my little, long haired Chihuahua.
