Cookie just couldn’t stay away and we’re glad! Cookie was first hired as a CAS in February 2006. She left briefly in 2013 for warmer climates but returned in June 2014 to her former position and picked up right where she left off—as Employee of the Year which she also earned in 2008.

Our SPICE program participants benefit every day from Cookie’s creativity and initiative in implementing new projects that make the program fun and full of laughs. If it’s a costume event, nobody embraces the concept more than Cookie—she’s just one of the gang. It’s clear that Cookie is having just as much fun every day as the folks that she supports in program. Her warmth and spontaneity are inspiring and we are proud to honor Cookie once again.
