✨ Staff Highlight: Sonya, RN 👩⚕️
Sonya is one of our incredible nurses at Sunrise Ridge. With a warm presence and compassionate approach, she has a way of making everyone she meets feel right at home. Her positivity, fun personality, and strong work ethic help create the supportive environment that makes our community so special.
Here’s a little Q&A with Sonya!
How long have you been working in this field, and what brought you to this program?
“I have been working as a substance use and mental health nurse for about 10 years now. I started working at a detox facility for six consecutive years. After that, I worked at a CSS level of care for about two years before finding Sunrise Ridge. I valued switching my career to Sunrise Ridge because I’ve always enjoyed watching the transition from admission to completion of the program in my patients’ recovery.”
What is something you love about working with this team?
“My coworkers have made this facility feel like a home for the patients and a family for everyone who works here. I truly enjoy coming into work every day to be with coworkers I enjoy being around.”
What is one thing that helps people stay healthy in recovery?
“Being open to what a new lifestyle can bring. Everyone’s path and journey will be different, and change can be hard. But being open to those changes helps create a smoother transition.”
Coffee or tea?
“☕ Coffee, for sure”
💛 We’re grateful for the compassion, dedication, and positivity Sonya brings to the Sunrise Ridge community every day. Thank you Sonya!!
