From the very first day Miranda started at Odyssey House Women’s Mental Health, she hit the ground running. I was actually part of her interview process as the other case manager, and what stood out to me right away was her willingness to learn, dig in, and do the research if she didn’t know something. From the moment she started, she proved that to be true through her actions.
Miranda has been such a gift to both staff and clients. She is super efficient, but even more than that, she has taught me and the clients so much about staying organized and balanced. I can’t even count how many times I've seen the clients laughing and smiling from ear-to-ear because of her, even when clients are dealing with really heavy things like court, housing, or the ups and downs of treatment. She always keeps her cool in tough moments, which helps ground everyone around her without her even trying.
Another thing I admire about Miranda is the way she advocates for others. She has spoken up in so many ways for both staff and clients, and because of that, things run more smoothly and people feel cared for. She isn’t afraid to tell it like it is, and that’s honestly so inspiring. Watching her stand strong in that way has pushed me to be less afraid myself. She gives a voice to people who don’t feel like they can speak up, and that’s such a special thing.
Miranda, thank you for filling our hearts with song, hope, and love. You make Odyssey House WMH brighter just by being here.
