Employee of the Month: Dylan Morgan
Our featured choice for July's Employee of the Month is Dylan Morgan, our Transitional Housing Coordinator! After working for nearly seven years in the financial industry, Dylan was interested in a career with more meaning. Ultimately, it was his brother Clayton that sparked his interest in working with EA Family Services.
"My brother always talked about the ups and downs of working with his clients at EA. What stood out the most to me was the contribution he was making to an organization helping kids who'd had a tough go at life thus far; giving them an opportunity for a better life. He talked about feeling excited to go to work every day, and I've always wanted to feel that way about my career. When he let me know there was an open position, I was all in."
Read on to learn more about Dylan's favorite part of the job, what he wishes people knew about those working in the industry, and more!
What does your best day on the job look like?
"My favorite days are when I get to move clients into their first apartment. Seeing their happiness and excitement is very rewarding."
What do you wish people knew about working in your field?
"I wish more people understood the circumstances that these young adults have endured throughout their lives."
How do you practice self-care?
"Spending time with family and friends. Whether it's a good day or bad, the people who I've surrounded myself with always seem to make it better."
What's a hidden talent you have, or something about yourself that would surprise people?
"Something that may surprise people is that even with two prosthetic legs, I still excel in recreational softball, basketball, and volleyball."
Anything else you'd like to add?
"I'm very appreciative to EA Family Services for the opportunity they've given me. I've never been more proud to tell people what I do and who I work for."
