Teal enrolled in the EARN program in October 2021 and was committed to achieving her employment goals. She took part in various professional sessions offered including Conflict Management, Ace the Interview, Growth Mindset, and Mental Fitness. Prior to enrolling in the EARN program, Teal secured part-time employment as an Administrative Assistant and Scheduler with State Farm Insurance but had a long-term goal of enhancing her skills and working with children, specifically those with special needs. Unexpectedly, her employment with State Farm Insurance ended in June 2022 when the owner of State Farm, also her mentor, passed away. Teal worked with the EARN Supervisor to begin looking for a new employment opportunity while also navigating the grief process. Shortly after, Teal was involved in a major auto accident, further traumatizing her for several months while she dealt with healing. Yet, she persisted in working with the EARN Supervisor and Licensed Family Advocate (LFA) through her recovery. In September 2022, Teal secured part-time employment with Child and Family Focus, a community based organization dedicated to building communities and strengthening families, as a part time Mobile Therapist at a pay rate of $32/hr. Then, in November 2022, Teal took her knowledge and experience acquired as a Mobile Therapist and achieved her goal of securing full time employment at Mastery Charter School as a Guidance Counselor at a pay rate of $24 /hr. Teal remains gainfully employed, has built positive rapport with the Retention Career Coach, and continues to excel in her job, all while continuing to communicate regularly during the retention phase of her enrollment. We could not be more proud to highlight the dedication and perseverance that Teal has demonstrated!

Introducing Danielle Gregor!
Job Title: Priority of Service Career Coach
Danielle joined the PA CareerLink® Montgomery County team just 6 months ago filling a very important role for a number of our career seekers. As the Priority of Service Career Coach, Danielle focuses on supporting individuals in more ways than exploring career fields. She assists career seekers by connecting them to resources like housing support, finding second chance employers, therapy resources, and more. Danielle is here to help folks move past their initial barriers and find sustainable employment.
Danielle's Advice to Career Seekers: “Give yourself grace. Searching and applying for new jobs is hardly easy, from constructing your resumes, cover letters, filling out numerous applications, to practicing interview skills, and it can be disappointing if they choose to go with another candidate. It can feel discouraging at times, but just remember to keep pushing and be kind to yourself. Searching for a new job IS a full time job, and it can be stressful, but don’t let it discourage you. Remind yourself you’re doing all the work you need to in order to find your next job or career. Every step you take gets you one step closer to your final destination.”
