Ring The Bell – October 2014

Team Rhino is pleased to announce our newest member as our October Ring the Bell Winner. “Can-Do” Rhino Marianne Uhrich blends her unique experience in Montessori education, a passion for our work, and her ever-present “can-do” spirit into quality service delivery.  As a Job Coach Specialist, Mari works with many of our DD customers and their employers.  Success in this position requires great patience, flexibility, and creative and strategic planning; she excels in all of these areas.

Mari doubled the work hours for one of her customers last month by identifying specific areas for skill development and then putting a plan into action.  She has been utilizing an iPad for communication and skill building with clients who might otherwise have difficulty expressing themselves.  She has assisted our clients in submission of numerous work applications, development of effective resumes, and has also coached job seekers on how to improve their interviewing skills.

Mari contributes to the entire team; she is the first to volunteer when help is needed.  With care and kindness, she works to enrich our communities, empower individuals, and enhance the workforce.  Three cheers for Mari!
