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.

It makes my heart happy to go to work while also learning something new every day.

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.

It has been a lifelong dream to find a career in which I can continue to help and give back to the community.

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 am very passionate about helping others, especially those with special needs.

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.
