Tammy Querns is the employee of the month.  Scott Edwards and Tina Capito agree that Tammy manages her time extremely well between both Supported Housing and OTAP programs. In addition to her workload, Tammy regularly goes above and beyond her work responsibilities.  Tammy is always one of the first to volunteer for additional activities such as the STEL camping trip and put many hours of her own time into the most recent Christmas party. Drawing on her many years of experience in the mental health field, Tammy is not only a mentor to clients but also her fellow staff.  She is extremely supportive, often stepping into assist with difficult client situations or simply lighten the load of a co-worker who has a lot on their plate.  Tammy acted as manager of OTAP for two months, during which time she handled many difficult situations and directed staff gracefully. Clients report that Tammy is calm, patient and kind or as one recently put it, “Tammy stays strong for other who need her help.”  The people that know Tammy understand that this statement holds true for both her professional and personal life.  Thank you Tammy for being an exemplary employee and for being such a great person.  Congratulations!
