Connie Edwards is a Supervisor with Community Living Upper Ottawa Valley and says everyday is rewarding. She relocated back to the Pembroke area 17 years ago and it was through a friend where she got involved with the organization. Like any other job, Edwards says sometimes there isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish all that you were hoping to do. Connie tells myFM that some of her career goals include sustaining a case load, which go along way to helping individuals achieve their own goals and support their outcomes. She also mentions that she’s had a lot of self-growth over the years, working as a speaker for her group and being an ambassador for inclusion in the community. Edwards has also had success is their employment inclusion program at Community Living. While not everyday goes the way she wants it, everyday is a new day to make an impact on someone’s life.
