Photo of Michelle Beeler with text that reads, "Employee Spotlight: Michelle Beeler, Payroll Coordinator, Payroll Office, Business Services, 40 years with RESA. Describe your job. I joined the Payroll Office in December 2024, and I’m still learning all the ins and outs of payroll. Some people think we just push a button and the checks appear, but there’s actually a lot that goes on before and after each pay. How has your role at RESA evolved? I started in the Business Office and worked there for seven years, then transferred to Woodland Developmental Center, where I spent almost 33 years. In December, I came back to the Business Services Department to work in the Payroll Office. What’s something people may not know about you? I didn’t attend high school during my last semester. I worked co-op at RESA full-time, except for two mornings a week when I went to St. Clair TEC. Do you have any hobbies? Kayaking, going up north, and mowing the lawn. What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you? My very first job was at my grandpa and uncle’s ice company, where I made block ice. If you could do another job for a day, what would it be? A florist. What’s something on your bucket list? Traveling to all 50 states. I’ve made it to 20 so far! Do you have pets? Yes, a dog named Avery.
