Meet Laura, a DSP with PALS Chrysalis Health!
Laura has worked in the DD field for over 30 years, in fact she loved her job so much, she retired and came back as a part time DSP! Laura is passionate about her experiences and was able to share some insight on what it takes to make a great DSP. Although this is not a field that you will get rich in, you will become very rich in other ways. She shared how you could be having the worst day ever and then you walk into work where an individual is so excited to see you and your bad day is instantly over.
Laura has someone she has supported since the 90s. She shared how she has witnessed this person grow in so many ways over the years, and unfortunately, she is now seeing them decline. Although this person is starting to forget some of the people around them, they have not forgotten Laura! She emphasized how being the one person that is able to help someone who is struggling is an indescribable feeling that no amount of money could replace.
Laura feels very fortunate to work at PALS where she has an amazing boss, Angie, and is surrounded by supportive co-workers. She also expressed how understanding PALS is when it comes to work/life balance.
Laura’s dedication to the DD field is an inspiration and we look forward to sharing her story with new DSPs.
