By Kimberly Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems
Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) recognized its Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) for the first quarter of 2013 at an awards ceremony at the Arleigh Burke auditorium onboard Naval Support Facility Dahlgren April 16. “I was pleasantly surprised when I first received the news,” said Financial Analyst Joy Elliott. “I work with a great team and love every aspect of my job.” Elliott has been part of the resource management team since March of 2011, working with CSCS west coast detachments and their budgets. She also distributes funds for CSCS headquarters and its 14 learning sites. “I started at CSCS as a Financial Technician and shortly after became a Financial Analyst,” she said. “I have enhanced my knowledge and skills set and look forward to learning new skills and strengthening the ones I have.” Elliot’s supervisor, Terri Dirscherl, the Budget Officer for Resource Management Directorate, nominated her for the award. “Joy has really stepped up to the plate,” said Dirscherl. “She has learned new tasks, while continuing to do tasks from her former vacated position. She has done her job and anything asked of her, with a professional, pleasant,
