Building Trust and Making a Difference: Ashhli Williams, TECH’s Employee of the Month

September 10, 2024

At TECH, our mission is not just a statement; it’s a commitment to enriching the lives of individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Behind every successful endeavor lies the dedication and passion of our staff members, and this month, we are proud to shine a spotlight on Ashhli Williams, Residential DSP, our Employee of the Month.

Ashhli has been with TECH for five months, and in that short time, it already felt like home. When she first heard about TECH from a friend, she had no idea the impact it would have on her life. Now, every day was filled with moments of joy, challenges, and heartfelt connections.

What Ashhli loved most about her job were the consumers. The bonds she has formed with them are more than professional; they are personal. Connection is the pillar that means the most to her because building trust is everything. Knowing that the people she serves can rely on her, no matter what, is what drives her. Every smile, every laugh, and even every tear shared solidifies that trust.

Being a DSP isn’t always easy, but it is the most rewarding job Ashhli has ever had. She knew that through her support, she was making a difference in the lives of her consumers, helping them lead better, more fulfilled lives. And that, to her, is priceless.

One of Ashhli’s most cherished memories at TECH was the time she made a consumer laugh so hard they couldn’t stop. It was a simple moment, but one filled with so much joy. And then there were the tougher moments when someone needed a shoulder to cry on. Those were the moments that showed her just how much love and support could mean to someone.

Ashhli lives by a powerful verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It is her guiding light, giving her strength to face each new day with faith and determination.

When Ashhli isn’t at TECH, she loves spending time with her family and friends, being outside, and indulging in some self-care by doing her nails and hair. And of course, she loves catching up on sleep after a long day of making a difference.

Every day at TECH reminds Ashhli that she is exactly where she is meant to be—helping, supporting, and connecting with the people who need it the most.
