Annie’s journey at Community Living began when she was a college intern studying social work before deciding to go a different route. “I did my internship with Community Living and quickly knew where I needed to be,” she says. “That was right here working with the coolest population of people.” She accepted a role as a Coordinator in the Support Services for Adults program where she fell in love with the people she worked with and those she supported. Today, Annie manages the Center and is taking steps to become a better manager and mentor. “She’s a strong, positive leader who leads by example to bring out the best in the team," said Jenn, Director of Support Services for Adults. "She’s an absolute joy to work with.” https://lnkd.in/gz8tDFK2
