An outdoor photograph capturing a smiling woman and her dog posing together in a serene garden courtyard with a Buddha fountain. --- ### Central Subjects * **The Woman:** She has long black hair and is kneeling or crouching on the stone patio. She is wearing a purple hooded winter jacket, a grey cowl-neck top underneath, and black pants. * **The Dog:** Lying on the patio floor in front of the woman is a medium-sized, long-haired black dog wearing a bright blue walking harness. The woman is resting her hand gently on the dog's back. --- ### Garden and Fountain Background * **The Fountain:** Directly behind the woman is a multi-tiered stone or concrete water fountain with water cascading down into a rectangular base pool. * **The Statue:** A stone statue depicting the upper torso and head of Buddha sits prominently on top of the fountain structure. * **The Vegetation:** The courtyard is enclosed by a wall lined with a dense backdrop of tall bamboo stalks. A thin palm tree trunk stands to the left of the fountain, and several green ferns and potted plants fill out the corners of the stone patio.

Prior to working for EBI, Ginny spent time volunteering for us, and even hosted two fundraisers for EBI. We knew she’d be a great addition to our team and encouraged her to apply for a position.

Ginny joined Supported Employment Services as an Employment Specialist during June 2017, and was quickly promoted to Job Developer Supervisor. Ginny’s staff shared that she is a wonderful supervisor and mentor, and Ginny shared, “working at EBI is the most rewarding job I’ve ever had.”

Ginny made her first employment placement soon after starting her position, negotiating accommodations and job modifications with the HR Regional Manager and successfully placing an individual within their top employment choice. Ginny’s efforts continue to produce amazing outcomes, including the new CA State Internship Program and a successful hire within the State of California.

We’re thankful that Ginny is part of our team!

– Lori Kotsonas, Director of Supported Employment Services
