Help me congratulate our June
SIVNA SPOTLIGHT

SHELBI JONES

Just celebrating her first year with us
Shelbi is already making a difference.
Having completed her practicum work for her social work degree at SIUE here at SIVNA , we were fortunate to hire her as a case manager for our community care dept .
She started working as a CNA in long term care when she was 16 and loved the elderly residents. She first decided on nursing school and when that didn’t work out changed to social work .
She loves her job at SIVNA and always has a smile on her face and a great attitude. She enjoys setting services up for the elderly so they can remain independent . While it can be challenging at times she finds it very rewarding . She goes the extra mile and it shows!
She has 5 cats and loves to crochet and take naps! She enjoys spending time with her family and boyfriend .
We appreciate Shelbi very much! Keep up the great work
