An Inspiration to Many
 | | Brenda with Wal-Mart Personnel Coordinator Kathie Egan |
For the past ten years, Port Resources resident Brenda P. has spent most of her afternoons in Windham, ME, greeting and assisting customers as they arrive at Wal-Mart. Work Opportunities Unlimited provides 3 hours per week of job coaching for Brenda; however she is very independent in her job and looks forward to seeing her co-workers and customers 4 days a week.
In the fall of 2010 Brenda became a local celebrity when she successfully foiled two robberies while she was working. Brenda is a bit modest when describing the incidents, both of which were would be thieves trying to steal Flat Screen TV's. "My job is important to me" Brenda says matter of factly. NECN also did a feature on Brenda on their newscast Video of Brenda on NECN Wal-Mart Personnel Coordinator Kathie Egan says Brenda "is very, very good at her job and a lot of customers love to see Brenda...it makes their day!"
When she is not working at Wal Mart, Brenda lives in one of Port Resources residential homes and enjoys spending time
with her housemates, Port Resources staff and taking care of her cat. When she is at home, two of her favorite activities are taking walks and watching her favorite soap operas. She is quick to smile and is very considerate of all around her. Brenda also maintains a very healthy lifestyle and has lost over 50lbs through exercise and healthy food choices.
Port Resources wishes to congratulate Brenda on her 10 years at Wal-Mart and thank her for being an inspiration for those
around her. |
