Employee of the Month: Hannah Ellis

Meet EA Facility Manager & Administrative Assistant Hannah Ellis

What originally made you want to work with EA?

My dad was an EA Social Worker for many years so I grew up around EA. I even visited the Group Homes with my dad when I was a kid. When I turned 21, he suggested I apply at Nighthawk Group Home. So I did, and the rest is history!

Describe what your best day on the job looks like:

I have a daughter with special needs, so I am not able to work as much as I used to. Any day I get to come in and see everyone is a great day!

What do you wish people knew about working in your field?

Sometimes it may not feel like you are making a difference. Then, years later you will hear from a previous client who had positive memories in the home. That makes it all worth it!

How do you practice self care?

I enjoy going for walks in the orchard next to my home with my husband, children and dog.

What's a hidden talent you have, or something about yourself that would surprise most people?

I went through school in the Spanish Immersion Program. I am a little rusty but I can speak and understand Spanish.

Anything else you'd like to add?

I have been with EA since 2010 and I love my job and everyone I work with here at Nighthawk STRTP!
