I believe that this a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the first day of Tammy Walker\u2019s first job when she was 16 years old, something happened that sticks with her to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI walked in and the manager looked at me and said, \u2018You\u2019ve got one hand? You can\u2019t have this job. You have to leave.\u2019 I was stunned,\u201d said Walker, who was born without the bottom half of her right arm from her elbow. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had never had someone tell me that I couldn\u2019t do a job because of my arm,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walker, who serves as the college\u2019s human resources senior manager, spends her time ensuring that same experience never happens to employees at Auburn University.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy father never treated me any differently. If there was something I wanted to do, he never asked how I was going to do it, he just told me to go do it,\u201d Walker said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been successful because I see everyone equally and fairly. I want to be treated equally and fairly. Everyone should be given a chance to perform without judging prematurely,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that mindset that has allowed Walker to help the College of Engineering build a deep talent pool of faculty and staff, and create a culture where everyone feels welcomed, valued, respected and engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love the College of Engineering. I love working with managers to strategically plan their needs, strengthen their department, develop their talent and make a positive difference in employees\u2019 lives,\u201d Walker said. \u201cHR is a resource to the college and that\u2019s my job, to be a resource and contribute a value to each and every unit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
