Grace Penney

Grace has been with us for the last 6 months, working as a DSP in the Life Skills room. When she isn’t working, Grace likes to spend her time drawing, reading, painting, and thrifting. When asked why she enjoys working at the DAC, she says “All of my previous jobs have been focused on production or sales. Now I get to go to work, connect with individuals, work with my amazing coworkers, and feel like I’m making a positive impact!”

“She goes above and beyond to support the individuals. Grace did a great job with the Christmas party and is dedicated to the work she does. She always makes sure the individuals have something to work on and keeps on top of scheduled routines.”
