West Area RA of the Month--February

Congratulations to Ashley Jakubek for being selected the West Area RA of the Month for February!

Let's hear what her nominator, Heather Cox, had to say about her:


     "For the month of February, the South Carrick staff voted that Ashley should be nominated for RA of the Month. Ashley has been a quiet leader amongst the South Carrick staff this year. She demonstrates her ability to complete all of her work and handle any resident need with grace and poise. 
     For one of her programs this month, Ashley had her residents make Valentine bags to hang by their doors so that they could leave nice notes for one another. They also created bags for the residents that were unable to be in attendance at the initial program. The initial program was a huge success, and her residents took to using the bags to leave nice notes quickly. While Valentine’s Day has passed, her residents still have their bags hanging and are using them to leave notes of encouragement for one another. In addition to the bags, Ashley baked goodies for each of her residents and made a goodie bag so that they each got something on Valentine ’s Day.

     Ashley has also been promoting positive body image to her residents this month. One of her boards has magazine photos of models and a quote reminding them that beauty cannot be photoshopped. Additionally, she covered her full length mirror with butcher paper for a day and left a note encouraging the residents to leave a note of encouragement and reinforcement for their fellow residents. By that evening, it was covered with positive notes of encouragement from the 9th floor residents.
 
     Ashley sets a wonderful example for her residents and her fellow RAs. Her positive attitude and love for her role can be seen in the work that she does and in her interactions with others. For these reasons, we nominate Ashley for RA of the Month for February."

Congratulations, Ashley!
