Careers Spotlight: Kayla

Kayla, a class of 2020 graduate and current Courtesy Clerk at Lunds and Byerlys, came to the rescue during a shift this summer.

While she was carrying out groceries for an elderly customer, the customer became ill and collapsed to the ground. Kayla immediately sat down near the customer, held her hand, and called for help. She encouraged the customer to stay on the ground, stay awake, but not to move. Kayla stayed with the customer and held her hand until the ambulance arrived.
 
Following the incident, Kayla burst into tears overwhelmed by the experience. Her manager comforted her and together they picked out flowers and a card and stored the customer’s groceries until she’d return home from the hospital.
 
 Kayla, we celebrate your dedication, customer service, and work ethic!

We are celebrating our September Participant of the Month, Camille!

Camille is a junior in MICC's College Program. She loves all the different activities throughout the week and is currently taking low-impact fitness and advanced art exploration for her elective choices.

Camille is a talented painter and loves anything to do with flowers a fun fact about her is that she grew up in Richfield and is currently living in the same apartment building as she did as a kid.

She believes she was chosen as a participant of the month due to her honesty, kindness and respect to her peers and she is right!

Congratulations, Camille!
