Grace was getting ready to graduate from California State University Northridge when she came across a flyer on campus for an open position at ABI. \u201cI had been doing some work with the Child and Family Studies Center at CSUN and thought I\u2019d apply.\u201d says Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, Grace has risen in the ranks and become one of our most seasoned lead skills trainers. She has had the opportunity to work with many of our kiddos and is a client favorite! \u201cMy favorite part of the job is seeing the progress, which can sometimes be slow but is evident. Our kids always progress and grow,\u201d says Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes our skills trainers and clients form lasting bonds, as Grace has come to know, \u201cI was (building rapport) with one of my clients and had to leave the room for a bit. When I returned, I found my client\u2019s mom crying and I asked her what was wrong. She told me that her daughter had been calling out my name and was looking for me. She was so appreciative and said that I was her daughter\u2019s first friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grace\u2019s advice to skills trainers is, \u201cBe patient and give it time. Things that are worthwhile are worth waiting for. Stay strong and patient, and progress will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Grace isn\u2019t with our kiddos at ABI, she\u2019s spending time with her own little one and husband. She spends her free time creatively, crafting and decorating her home.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for being such a great addition to our team, Grace!<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image abi-post-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamabi.com\/intrepid\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2392-299x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenting one of our lead skills trainers, Grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":962,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
