Employee of the Month

What made you want to work with EA Family Services?

I started working with EA in late December of 2016, but even before that I had already witnessed the passion of the people running and managing the company to provide a better home for the kids. I knew in working with EA that I'd be joining a team that truly cares, and treats people like family. 

Describe your best day on the job. 

I always try to create a friendly, welcoming office. It warms my heart when see the kids getting excited each time they come to the office, or when they're leaving with a smile on their face. 

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

It may sound simple, but a smile to welcome someone, or a warm voice over the phone leaves a lasting impression and has a positive impact for the company overall.

How do you practice self-care? 

I'm pretty low maintenance, and I enjoy the simple things in life. I bike and dance a lot, but most importantly I like being surrounded by happy, funny, kind, loving, and caring people. 

Anything else you'd like to add?
