by Kathleen Radock, Communications and Development Manager
We'd like to welcome Alethia Bush as OPDC's newest staff member. Alethia joined us in April as Case Manager for Employment & Supportive Services.
Alethia was kind enough to answer some questions about her background, interests, and what inspires her:
What brought you to OPDC?
I was looking for a new work environment where I can do what I love, which is helping others become stable and self-sufficient. I knew someone who worked at OPDC and heard that it was a great organization to work for. She informed me of an open position there, so I applied.
What motivates you?
What motivates me the most is being able to provide hope and inspiration to everyone I work with and seeing them succeed and achieve their goals.
Where do you live?
I live in the Manchester section of the Northside of Pittsburgh…born and raised.
Any relatives or pets who bring you joy that you’d like to include? While I don’t have any biological children, I do have several nieces, nephews and godchildren that I adore!
What do you like to do for fun?
My hobbies include traveling, genealogy, astrology and other metaphysical sciences; as well as listening to music and audio books and spending quality time with friends and family.
What is something that people would be surprised to know about you?
I collect crystals and elephants….I have over 100 of both!
Favorite quote:
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Thanks again, Alethia! Welcome again, and we can’t wait to see you sometime outside of Zoom!
