From the very beginning, Holly expresses profound gratitude for the ALS and her TECH team that has been the driving force behind their journey. “I am nothing without the ALS and the TECH team beside me, who encourages me to push and be the best example of a DSP I can be,” Holly acknowledges. The support received from co-workers and the collaborative spirit within the organization have fueled her passion for making a positive impact.

Despite the relatively short tenure of six months, Holly has managed to build long-lasting relationships with both co-workers and the individuals they serve. “What I love about working here is the connection I’ve developed in such a short time. It feels like I’ve been a part of this family for much longer,” Holly reflects, emphasizing the sense of belonging that TECH has provided.

When asked about the TECH pillar that resonates the most, Holly passionately chooses “self-worth.” In a personal triumph, she shares, “In 2020, I started my weight loss journey and have lost over 200 lbs. My 4-year anniversary is in April 2024.” For Holly, the journey toward self-worth extends beyond the workplace, embodying the values espoused by TECH.

The most rewarding aspect of working at TECH, according to Holly, is witnessing the growth of the individuals they serve. The organization’s commitment to fostering personal development is mirrored in Holly’s dedication to the well-being and progress of those they support.

Reflecting on special memories at TECH, Holly fondly recalls the summer spent growing in the atmosphere of the ALS team. The shared experiences and camaraderie have made a lasting impression, contributing to a positive and nurturing work environment.

A favorite quote that encompasses Holly’s outlook on life is “Never give up. Never give in.” This mantra not only reflects her personal journey but also serves as a source of inspiration for colleagues and the individuals they assist.

Supervisor Dorinda Simmons paints a vivid picture of Holly’s impact at TECH. Describing her as positive, upbeat, encouraging, inspiring, patient, and possessing a great sense of humor, Simmons emphasizes Holly’s exemplary leadership by example. Holly’s ability to navigate challenges with grace and optimism sets her apart as a true asset to the TECH community.

As for free time, Holly humorously remarks, “What is that?” Their dedication to the cause is evident, as they invest their time and energy into making a difference in the lives of others.

In Holly, TECH has found not just an employee but a beacon of inspiration, resilience, and compassion. Their story exemplifies the core values of our organization, reinforcing TECH’s commitment to empowering lives and fostering a sense of self-worth.
