Next up on Meet the Team - Meet another one of our Community Outreach Coordinators, Azaria (Zee) Dandridge!
Azaria is one of Lacey’s closest friends and has many fun memories of her - specifically going to Ulta often with Lacey and calling Patrick to send them money for those high quality skincare items. 😂 Her favorite memory is when her and Lacey were headed to Nashville and two clients called Lacey needing treatment. Lacey spent the entire trip calling treatment facilities, ensuring they had proper transportation to get to treatment, and working to find a location that takes their insurance or lack thereof. She had never seen Lacey in action and remembers how special it was to see what she does and how she did it so respectfully, determined, and passionately. Lacey told Zee, “You just earned your first two clients in recovery,” and that is when Zee’s passion to make change in the community began. She will always appreciate her first “Bring your Best Friend to Work Day.”
Azaria is a kindergarten teacher in Verona, Mississippi and is new to the recovery community. She will be the feet on the ground, spreading information and awareness about substance abuse and mental health resources to her local community. She also will be attending local open AA and NA meetings to continue making connections and offering support. She is warm, kind, and offers a safe space for anyone to come to her seeking help - she was trained by Lacey, after all. 😊
She has two dogs who she treats as if they are her children, Diesel (10 years) and Cut (2 years).
We are so excited to see her make big waves in the community and advocate for positive change!
