Lakesia Farmer has worked for Durham County Library since 2007 and has served as the Library’s HR person since 2012. She is an active member of the Triangle Society for Human Resource Management and is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources. One of the things that Lakesia loves about working in HR is meeting new people. She often says that she tries to put the human in human resources. As part of her role, Lakesia oversees the library’s bi-annual Staff Development Days, helps train staff, serves on interview panels, and works with the library’s summer interns. Outside of work, Lakesia enjoys spending time with family. She and her husband can often be found cheering for their son at one of his many sporting events. She also loves traveling, reading, learning new things, and helping others.
