By D'Aisha White of O'Dell Family Chiropractic and Caila Healy of the Employment Alliance
D’Aisha
White started working at O’Dell Family Chiropractic in July of 2012. A few of
her responsibilities at the office are to enter patient information in
the computer, file and shred documents, make patient welcome packets, and scan
and upload documents.
When
asked how working at O’Dell has affected her life, D’Aisha said, “I enjoy
working there. It is definitely a process but I enjoy working and it gets me
out and about. It gets me to interact.”
D’Aisha
stated that her job coaches have been “awesome” and “very supportive.”
D’Aisha
mentioned that her job coaches have taught her how to be professional in the
workplace and keep a positive attitude. She stated, “You have really helped me
with alphabetizing, too.”
Over
the last year, D’Aisha has grown very independent and confident as a reflection
of her work at O’Dell. “My attitude has changed and is more positive and I have
become more courageous,” she said.
Along
with the work she has learned this past year, she has developed a positive
relationship with her supervisor, Maria Dewhirst. “Maria has been very good,
excellent and a positive person to work with,” she said.
This
opportunity has not only given D’Aisha the chance to work and learn the
responsibilities that come with a job, but this has shaped her life outside of
work in many positive ways as well. She continues to grow and learn with each
week and hopes to increase her hours at O’Dell.
