Reiber, an administrative specialist for Design and Construction, was nominated by Tiffany Sanders. Here is sampling of what she wrote:

鈥淒ue to department changes, Tonia was asked to assist with entering shop billings against projects. Since then, she has been processing all billings. This is a tremendous help and is very much appreciated. She didn鈥檛 skip a beat when she learned of her new duties and immediately scheduled a time to learn the task. She is inquisitive and eager to learn. She jumps right in to help any way she can while supporting an entire department with a guiding, helpful hand. She is truly an asset to our team.鈥

Schoolcraft, a utility worker, was nominated by Jennifer Truax. Here is sampling of what she wrote:    

鈥淢elany is a great asset to the third custodial shift. She goes above and beyond making sure her area on the Baker Center first floor is more than presentable. She always has a smile and is willing to help in any way she can. She voices thoughts and opinions on what she feels would make her team perform better. She listens to instructions and performs tasks as given.鈥

What do you do on your days off? Relax with my family.

What is on your bucket list? Travel more.

How has OHIO helped your career development? Well I have always had to work multiple jobs. Since I started working at OHIO, it has allowed me to work less. My hope is to someday only work for OHIO and go back to school.

Where do you see yourself in five years? Working as a custodial worker in my own building and taking classes.

What advice do you have for prospective OHIO candidates? Be flexible.

What is your favorite part about working at OHIO? The health and tuition benefits.

Tell us something about you we may not know? For more than a decade, I worked with children with severe physical and mental disabilities. I have always wanted to have a foster home or group home for those children in need of a safe and loving place to live.
