Leigh Love, Senior Account Technician

Leigh Love is a senior account technician for the Missouri Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol Employees’ Retirement System (MPERS).  Leigh joined MPERS in 2008 as an office assistant and has been promoted several times over the past 10 years, landing her in her current position.  Starting out, her main duties included data entry, typing, filing, and answering phones.  Leigh quickly demonstrated the ability to perform a more sophisticated role and her duties were expanded to include accounts payable, reviewing retirement paperwork prior to processing and assisting with basic tax functions.  Currently, Leigh performs a wide variety of duties including preparing staff payroll, assisting with retiree payroll, verifying service for members, coordinating pre-retirement seminars, reviewing and processing paperwork, answering questions from members and providing reports to MoDOT and the Highway Patrol.

Leigh previously worked for eight years as an administrative account associate in the accounting department at the Conservation Federation of Missouri and as a fiscal services technician for ten years at the Private Industry Council.  Leigh is a valuable piece of the complex puzzle that makes up benefit operations at MPERS.
