I would like to nominate Lauren (Lars) Wilson for the Cornerstone Award. Although she has only been with us for a few weeks, she has already made an incredible impact on our team. From the very beginning, she came in eager to learn, willing to help wherever needed, and ready to jump into a fast paced environment with a positive attitude.Nichole is the PERFECT person to be the first face people see when they come into the Administration Building here at Odyssey House! She goes above and beyond and greets EVERYONE who enters our building with a warm, genuine smile and friendly, positive attitude, even on the days I know she is struggling with things outside of work or not feeling well. She is always ready to lend Khymm (or anyone for that matter!) a helping hand. Whenever she is out, this place just isn't the same! Her compassion and friendliness is genuine and never, ever fake; that is what I love most about her. She is hilarious and always keeps the mood here upbeat and positive.
She has learned her responsibilities exceptionally quickly and continues to take initiative without needing to be asked. Whether it is helping clients, staying on top of tasks, stepping in to support the team, or making sure things are getting done, she consistently goes above and beyond. She has shown a strong work ethic, professionalism, and reliability that is rare to see from someone so new.
What stands out most is her willingness to learn and adapt. She takes feedback well, asks thoughtful questions, and genuinely cares about doing things correctly and helping the team succeed. She has integrated into the front end so naturally that it already feels like she has been here much longer than she actually has.
Lauren brings a calm, helpful, and hardworking presence to the workplace every day, and I truly believe she deserves recognition for the effort, initiative, and dedication she has already shown in such a short amount of time.
