Get to Know the UCP Staff – Vol. 4

Every week at UCP we feature a staff member in something we call an “Employee Spotlight” where they tell us a little about themselves – their family, their hobbies/ interests and little known facts about them. It’s a fun way to get to know our co-workers a little better! One question the staff answer is “What do you like most about your work at UCP of Greater Cleveland?” We would like to share their responses with you so that you can get to know us a little better as well. Every month we will publish new responses from staff.

Raheem Merritt, OakLeaf Job Training Community Connector (10 years at UCP):

“The relationships I’ve been able to forge with the clients over the years and being able to help co-workers along too.”

Valerie Kessler, LeafBridge Speech-Language Pathologist (2 years at UCP):

“I love how UCP is a family, including clients, client family members and co-workers. We all truly care about our clients and each other.”

Matthew Natole, Director of Finance & Administration (11 months at UCP):

“I enjoy all of the people I get to work with every day as well as seeing how happy the clients are when they are here for services.”

Tom Donovan, OakLeaf Partners Case Management Associate (30 years at UCP):

“I truly enjoy seeing our clients find success at home or work, especially when they realize they are able to do more, get involved and find skills to get even better!”
