Congratulations to Valerie, a positive and hard-working member of our Finance Team, for being selected as our Employee of the Month for July!

This recognition is a testament to Valerie’s exceptional hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to CWCC’s mission and values. Through her honesty, transparency, and ethical approach to every task, Valerie Leads with Integrity, setting a high standard for the agency as a whole. To solve problems and overcome complicated tasks, Valerie brings new ideas that have improved efficiency and inspired others to think outside the box in their work.

“[Valerie] has stepped up tremendously on getting our Revenue Cycle program under control,” one colleague shared. “We recently had to submit 2,000 insurance claims by hand, and she created templates that were easy for the rest of the team to follow and get them submitted before the deadline by over a week.” Another colleague added, “her attention to detail and professionalism makes her a valued member of the team.”

To get to know Valerie better, we asked her a few questions:

1. Which skills or qualities do you think have contributed most to your success?
   The skills and qualities that have contributed most to my success are pushing myself to learn new things, being a quick learner, and a bookworm. I am also a task and deadline setter, so I know which big projects or items I need to focus on first.
2. What advice would you give to someone joining the CWCC team for the first time?
   It might be rough the first few weeks learning the programs and rules, but if you stick with it and are willing to learn you will know quite a bit in no time. I have learned no place is perfect, so find something that motivates you and keep going.
3. Can you share a small habit or routine that has made a big impact on your mental health?
   A small routine that has made a big impact on my mental health is walking at least thirty minutes each day. I have a hectic life sometimes, but slowing down each evening to walk and listen to music helps settle my brain to mentally and physically feel better.
4. What’s a hobby or activity you’re passionate about?
   An activity I am passionate about is getting out in the mountains, or terrain and riding the trails with my family. It works as stress relief being able to get away from the constant go and to just be present with my family with no devices. 
5. What’s your favorite childhood TV show, cartoon, or movie?
   My favorite childhood TV show was Full House. I remember watching it as a kid and loving the family life they had created.
