We are pleased to announce the kickoff of an exciting new series, JCHAI Staff Spotlight Interviews, highlighting our incredible staff and JCHAI member advocates!

JCHAI member advocates are stepping up into a leadership role to conduct an ongoing series of interviews in which JCHAI staff are featured and given the chance to share more about themselves and their work at JCHAI.

This initiative will serve a dual purpose, creating new opportunities to highlight and recognize our hardworking and dedicated staff, as well as for our member advocates to practice their leadership, communication, and production skills.

​In this interview, JCHAI member Alex L. asked JCHAI Educator Kathryn Adams about her hobbies and interests outside of work, her role and experience working at JCHAI, and more!

Upcoming interviews will be presented in a variety of formats, highlighting the unique strengths and skill-sets of each of our member interviewers. Through feature articles, videos, bulleted lists, audio recordings, visual representations, or other creative possibilities, our members’ incredible storytelling will shine a spotlight on our amazing JCHAI staff.

I started in 2019 as a Masters-level intern, and I was here for 10 months. And then in 2020, I was offered a full-time job.” Best Things About JCHAI: “Some of the things I like the most about JCHAI are my coworkers. I think they are fantastic — they’re very caring people. But I think the best thing about working at JCHAI is our members! I learn a lot from them, I’ve grown close to a lot of them, and I’ve formed a lot of nice connections with a lot of the members here since I’ve been here for such a long time.” Day-to-Day at JCHAI: “As a JCHAI Educator, I provide in-home and community supports to our members. Some days, I may help somebody make their bed, do laundry, cook, or practice hygiene. We also go out into the community, maybe take walks in the park. I also recently started teaching a Healthy Relationships class in our Main Line Hub!” Favorite Foods: Pizza & tacos!
