This year we are proud to recognize Amanda Cantu, our Director of Programming, for 20 years with Ability Works. Two decades of dedication, leadership, and heart.
When we asked Amanda about her favorite part of the job, her answer said everything about who she is: the relationships built along the way with the individuals we serve, their families, and her coworkers. That focus on people is exactly what has made her such an essential part of our team.
Outside of work, Amanda admits her mind is usually still on what needs to get done at the office (sound familiar to anyone?). But when she does unplug, you will likely find her chasing the sun and water with her husband and two very active young boys, often cruising in her one of a kind orange 1982 Blazer.
Thank you, Amanda, for 20 years of showing up, leading with compassion, and making a difference in so many lives. Here is to everything still ahead.
