Stephanie didn’t just come to Goodwill for a job—she needed a fresh start.
“Before Goodwill, I worked as a Home Health Care Aide,” she shares. “I loved helping people but wasn’t making enough to survive.”
Determined to find stability, Stephanie connected with Good Vocations’ Project Manager, Denise Watkins, who immediately recognized her potential. Denise referred her to Goodwill’s Job Connection program, where Alysia Law guided Stephanie through each step until she secured a custodial position at Robins Air Force Base.
With on-the-job training and continued support from her team at Good Vocations, Stephanie thrived. Her positive attitude and hard work impressed everyone around her.
But the transformation didn’t stop at work. “I was able to get my own place, a car in my name, and I even started going to church,” she shares with pride, her smile lighting up the room. “Without Good Vocations, my life would be nothing like it is now. I love coming to work every day… I feel blessed.”
Stephanie’s story is one of true transformation. Though she faced challenges early on, the dedication of her supervisors and the unwavering support from Good Vocation’s team helped her grow both personally and professionally. Today, Stephanie is flourishing, and her commitment to success serves as a reminder that with the right support, a fresh start can lead to a life full of new beginnings.
