Client Spotlight: Tricia


A black-and-white, slightly blue-toned vintage photograph capturing a smiling maid or housekeeper cleaning a table inside a hotel room. --- ### Foreground Subject * **The Housekeeper:** She is a woman with short, styled dark hair, looking off-camera to the right with a bright, wide smile. She is leaning over a light-colored table, using a white cloth in her right hand to wipe down the surface. * **Attire:** She is dressed in a traditional light-colored service uniform featuring a large white scalloped collar, short cuffed sleeves, buttons down the bodice, and a matching apron tied around her waist. She wears a simple watch on her left wrist. --- ### Background Setting * **Hotel Room Interior:** The setting is a standard guest room. Behind her sits a long wooden dresser with drawers. * **Decor:** A shaded table lamp illuminates the corner of the dresser, and a rectangular, metallic-framed mirror hangs on the wall directly above it. * **Room Details:** A portion of a bed with light-colored bedding is visible in the lower-right foreground, and an open doorway or hallway alcove can be seen in the background on the far right.

She was the very first person I ever found a job for, before EBI even existed. It was Tricia’s first job, too. I remember sourcing “Help Wanted” ads in the newspaper, helping her prepare for the job interview, figuring out the bus schedule. Tricia got the job. In October, Tricia retired from the Pleasanton Hilton, her one and only employer for almost 30 years. I’m proud of her for her determination, and thrilled that EBI was able to support her along the way and play a part in her longevity on-the-job.
