Our DSP for this week is Becca. She works at our Thompson home and returned to Living Well seven months ago after a break to stay home with her young son. She has a great laugh, a kind heart, and a big sense or humor.
Cynthia Kilmer, Program Manager, says, “Becca is definitely here for the people. She is a bright light that shines and creates joy around her. Her coworkers enjoy her and she is funny. She works hard and does not back down when circumstances change.”
Rebecca, thank you for coming back to Living Well. We are grateful you joined the crew at Thompson and appreciate the laughter you bring to the house.
