I decided to get into the field of social work to help create a positive change and advocate for vulnerable children. My motivation comes from seeing a family or children learn a different way of life, overcome their hurdles and make a difference in their lives.
“Ms. LaCour has been a mentor for many years. She helps others during removals and passes along her knowledge to new staff.”

What keeps me going are the small victories and bright spots that show up throughout the week. Watching my children play with their parents, hearing them say new words, or seeing a parent complete a service reminds me why this role matters so much.
“Katherine is a very hard working employee. She goes over and above to make sure her clients and kids are well taken care of. She is dedicated, shows hard work, and is a huge team player.”
