As a result, Zilliner and her 12 brothers zigzagged throughout the United States to places like North and South Carolina, Long Island in New York, Tallahassee and Virginia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of her fondest memories growing up was her mom taking her to the airport to see airplanes take off from the tarmac.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing poor and not having much money, there wasn&#8217;t much entertainment so I&#8217;d sit and dream about one day being on one of those airplanes,\u201d Zilliner said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her dream came true. She worked as a flight attendant for 21 years at National Airlines\u2014later renamed Pan Am Airlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zilliner was soon flying all across the world, to places like Rome, Paris and Germany. But the job also had strict requirements. If she gained more than five pounds or missed three days of work, she risked getting fired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI lived in a suitcase and was always ready to go when that phone rang,\u201d Zilliner said. \u201cIf you were one minute late you didn&#8217;t work that day. It was very stressful but I loved it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, her dream was put on hold when the airline filed for bankruptcy and she lost her job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>Making Her Way To MDC<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her three children<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jimmy, Steven and Katherine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">became Zilliner&#8217;s motivation. She enrolled at Kendall Campus in 1993 to study computer science and took a job on-campus as a lab assistant and later as a teacher\u2019s assistant, proctoring exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As her studies intensified, one of her last classes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">system analysis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">required her to create an original end-of-term project. She decided to create a database to organize the inventory that came in and out of the College\u2019s warehouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The warehouse is located at 8643 N.W. 68th St. in Medley. It houses things like computers, desks, printers, scanners, filing cabinets, tables and chairs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the summer of 1996, Zilliner was offered a part-time job at the warehouse to put her plan into action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to Zilliner creating the database, the site was cluttered with random boxes and equipment from all across the Miami Dade College system. Zilliner created a system that tracked items as they entered the warehouse and as they were transferred to other campuses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the time, the 74-year-old, who earned an associate\u2019s degree in computer science from Kendall Campus in 1995, works alone. She is even licensed to drive a forklift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of the College, Zilliner is a motivational speaker and teaches bible study at her church in Miami Gardens\u2014<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/jesuspeoplemiami.church\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesus People Ministries<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014and her daughter\u2019s nonprofit organization Godly Women Enjoying Living Life INC.
