Meet the Connections Crew

My passion for helping others be a part of an alliance where they feel they belong is something I am very dedicated to.

Each day my mind is blown away that I get to be a part of the catalyst of growth and change for so many beautiful individuals.

I value the relationships I develop with each person and enjoy being able to assist people in achieving their goals.

My favorite part of my career is that every day I am a part of something that is all about supporting and loving individuals.

I have a huge passion for helping people and working with the people in my community.

Hi, my name is Jennifer. I have always had a passion for helping others and being a support for others.

I have a passion to help in any way that I can and to cultivate positive relationships with all that I meet.

This type of role is the perfect way for me to use my skills and strengths while supporting a business, that does work I find very important. In my spare time I enjoy (most) musicals in any form.

I love seeing people succeed, find happy moments, and thrive.

I knew in my heart I needed to be back supporting my friends in the I/DD community and that is when I found DSP Connections! I am so happy to be here with all of these amazing people!

I feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of a work family that has such a passion for serving others as well as supporting the community.

My very first job in High School was as a Direct Support Professional, and within days, I knew this field was where I was meant to be.

I firmly believe that an empathetic person is what is needed to support individuals that experience I/DD and mental health.

As our administrative assistant, I provide supports to other departments to ensure that everything is running smoothly within our organization.

Working in the I/DD community has been something that I have always been passionate about and I have been lucky enough to do for over 11 years.

I was a DSP for 5 years but after graduating, I became a bilingual IDD case manager for Marion County where I primarily worked with the Latino community.

Knowing the impact that I have on individuals’ lives keeps me going and makes me want to continue doing what I do.

I am so thankful to be a part of a team that encourages genuine care for those we serve.

I am so lucky to be able to bring that same energy to all our friends in the I/DD community.

Hi, I’m Ashley and I am so happy to be able to help our DSPs so they are able to support our clients.

I have a big heart and a deep passion for serving people and working for DSPC has allowed me the opportunity to integrate that into my professional life.

I’m truly honored to have found a place in which wearing my heart on my sleeve and embracing my enthusiasm for caring and loving on others, is encouraged, and celebrated.

Working for DSPC has fueled that passion in a way I didn’t know was possible.

It didn’t take me long to realize that my passion is in servicing the I/DD community.

My passion has also led me here to DSP Connections, where I am gifted to work with resilient families and passionate DSP’s.

I have always had a passion for working alongside those with special needs and supporting the IDD community.

It has been my lifelong dream to open a camp for disabled children and young adults to experience horse riding.

I enjoy working with numbers and love that my passion for finance can support a company that helps serve our community in such an impactful way.

I started in the I/DD and Mental Health field in 2012 as a DSP and absolutely loved working with people from all walks of life.
