This week, I had the honor of leading a Community Reach Center brand ambassador photo shoot. Photographing current staff members is so important when capturing the culture of an organization, ??especially?? for recruiting and internal communications. Days like these make me feel connected and proud of the work we do. A special thanks to this wonderful group of staff members for sharing time and laughs with me. ??

Meet Melissa! ?? She recently reached two exciting milestones: settling into her own apartment and welcoming an adorable dog named Libby into her life! ?? Melissa has been with Community Reach Center for 8 years and credits her success to trusting the process. She started her journey with CRC after she lost her father and realized certain things in life are beyond her control. Thankfully, she remained dedicated to seeking help to help improve her life and focus on her well-being. Now, she has completely transformed her lifestyle through a holistic lens. ?? Her wellness journey includes therapy, hobbies, mindfulness, yoga, and being thoughtful about what she puts in her body. Amazing work, Melissa! We love to see you enjoying life and thriving! ??
