And as her life has unfolded, she has seen firsthand how determination and hard work can lead to success. Evette completed a bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from Cleveland State University and began her career with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), a company that serves as an off-site human resources department for small- and medium-sized organizations. She eventually became comptroller for the PEO. Little did she know that one of her coworkers with whom she’d become friends would later become her husband, David. She quipped, “We figured as long as we could work together, we could be married!” BY MARY COY Lt.Gov.
