In 2005, she was promoted to unit administrator I at RCC. She was then promoted to program administrator in 2006 in central office, where she worked in the classification branch. In 2008, Ratliff returned to RCC where she worked as unit administrator in the assessment center and as the institution’s pre-release coordinator.
