At Goddard, Lifelong Learning is one of our core values. Linda Aka, a case manager at our Resource Center, is showing us how to do it— while helping others and thriving in the process. In less than a year, Linda has gone from an internship to her new role, in a career that she began at a later stage of life.
Linda is enjoying her new role and her ability to help. People show up in crisis mode, and it’s up to her to listen and get them whatever help she can give. Sometimes, the issue might not get resolved, but just getting some direction helps people keep going.
“I like the fact that you have an impact, and you can see the impact,” she said. “You’re making a difference on the day-to-day.”
