10 and 15 Year Milestones

10 and 15 Year Milestones

With the incredibly busy schedules all of our dedicated employees have, it stands to reason that completing interviews and photos for all of our milestone employees isn’t always possible. Some were able to meet up for a socially-distanced portrait, some could take a few moments to answer some questions, some didn’t want the spotlight on themselves. No matter the reason, we still wanted to acknowledge all of our 10 and 15-year milestone employees together today!

MaryLisa Lussier – 10 Year Milestone

Direct Support Professional – SDS

We would like to recognize MaryLisa Lussier for her 10 years of service at Springbrook! MaryLisa is a Direct Support Professional who has worked at many different positions during her time with us. She first started in the West Oneonta Community Home and then moved to evening recreation, lifeguarding, HCBS, and SDS. MaryLisa enjoys working with the people she supports and their families and having so much involvement in what, where, and how they live a full and meaningful life. Her family, friends, and co-workers will tell you that MaryLisa is fun-loving, direct, always wants to lend an ear, and will always be a team player. MaryLisa shares that, “Springbrook has made my life better because it makes me happy to make other people’s lives better. It truly does, and makes my heart smile every single day.”

MaryLisa first started at Springbrook as a supplement to her income but after working here, can’t envision her life where she isn’t at Springbrook helping people every day. When we asked MaryLisa what she got out of working at Springbrook she said, “When my day is done, I know that I have done a good job and the best that I could and in doing so I have made someone else’s life better. That is the bread-and-butter of my life.” Thank you so much for your service, MaryLisa, and congratulations on your Springbrook Milestone achievement.

Jessica Rogers – 10 Year Milestone

Residential Manager – Grandview Community Home

We also recognize Jessica Rogers for her 10-year Springbrook Milestone! Jessica first started at Springbrook in 2010 as a residential counselor and throughout the years worked her way up to become a manager—an accomplishment for which she is extremely proud. Jessica shares that Springbrook changed her perspective about life. “Working at Springbrook has taught me to appreciate life and all it has to offer—not taking things for granted, and to always live life to the fullest.”

Jessica strives to make the best life possible for all the people she supports—that is what makes her job as a Residential Manager so fulfilling. Each day she comes to work she feels that she is making a difference in someone’s life. Some of Jessica’s best memories at Springbrook involve taking the people she supports on once-in-a-lifetime trips and getting to see them happy, and watching their faces light up with a smile. Congratulations, Jessica, on your Milestone Achievement and thank you for your years of service!
