DSP HIGHlight:
What Makes Me Special: I don't see myself as 'special.' I do feel my life has led and trained me to work in this field. If being a cosmetologist, mom, wife, church leader and woman has done anything, it has led me to do this.
Something you may not know about me: Something you may not know about me is that I am very adventurous- I love traveling on our motorcycles or just being out with family. I will try things that most people will not want to try. I love God and I am thankful for everything.
Likes: Coca-Cola, Italian food, movies, and quiet time.
Dislikes: Ungrateful- selfish, snooty people.
Why I love my Quest program: I truly enjoy coming to work. I love all the individuals and staff. It is a family atmosphere - I have always enjoyed unique and different personalities. God has blessed me with many wonderful experiences and this is at the top. I get back more than I can ever give. I feel so blessed by working with the very talented staff. I have learned so much and I Iook forward to learning even more.
My participant is special to me because: My participant is special to me because I find her so fascinating, trying to figure our what she is thinking, her wants, needs and just what makes her tick. We love listening to music, bopping our heads, making videos, looking at pictures of family & friends, and driving around looking for big trucks, school buses, dogs, and uniformed men. I know Whit's having a great day when we hear her laugh, see her smile, and squeal really, really loud. She makes my day!
