I’ve spent much of my career working for, and with, agencies that allow older adults to live well and independently in the community. That experience gives me a unique take on how the services MOLARI provides make a difference, whether it’s a senior receiving services so they can stay in their home or a business who has all the makings to grow but needs quality employees.

Like many of the applicants I work with on a daily basis, I came to MOLARI looking for the same answers. I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to work as a temp in the office.

I feel like my story with MOLARI is the perfect example of how EVERYONE who comes through its doors is valued. I truly understand the importance of helping people find their way and figuring out what they’re good at.
