For nearly 19 years, Angie has been making a difference at DSC. Currently in Community Living, she supports 10 individuals on her caseload while also helping wherever she's needed.
Angie believes that successful DSPs need strong multitasking skills, patience, kindness, and good time management. Her days are filled with helping individuals build independence through everyday activities like cooking, shopping, attending medical appointments, maintaining their homes, paying bills, and managing budgets.
One way Angie helps individuals stay on track is by teaching practical budgeting skills. During shopping trips, she scans items as they go so people can see their total in real time and make informed decisions before checkout.
She especially enjoys helping individuals transition into their own homes, teaching the skills needed to maintain a comfortable, welcoming living space and succeed independently.
For Angie, the most rewarding part of her job is watching people grow. She says the individuals she supports brighten her day, and she loves that every day brings something new. Some of her favorite memories include DSC Christmas parties filled with dancing and music, as well as memorable road trips with the people she supports.
Thank you, Angie, for your dedication, compassion, and almost 19 years of helping individuals enjoy their lives in all different ways!
