Employee Spotlight: Rai Mochida
When Rai was first asked, for this column, what she does in her spare time, she jokingly responded, “What spare time?!” Pretty understandable, given her recent work schedule, which includes part-time office work at Pro-Bilt Construction Company and at Island Honda, as well as doing outside sales as a manufacturer's representative.
Rai first worked as a receptionist part-time while attending MCC in 2002, when Island Honda moved to its present location. She earned her undergraduate degree in Applied Business and Information Technologyin 2009, and now spends much of her time at the dealership on special projects, social media and Safeguards / Compli' administration, and general service department office support.
