Today is Working Women’s Wednesday and we are highlighting Emily Beers!!💜💪🏼 Emily is a Program Administrator who has been with the Turning Point Team since 2006. Emily began working for the Drug Court Programs as a Caseworker, and in 2014 she was promoted to Program Coordinator. As the current Program Administrator, her primary focus remains that of providing oversight to the specialized docket in accordance with the written program description. Emily states “When I graduated from college, I knew I wanted to work for Oriana House. However, I didn’t think they would hire me without experience. In the middle of my job search, a friend from high school called me out of nowhere whose dad worked for the company, and he was quick to interview me for the job. It helps to know people, I guess!” 🤣 Emily says the hardest part about her job is finding balance. The day is never over; the job is never done. But, the most rewarding part about her job is building friendships that last forever, in both clients and coworkers😊 In addition to her position at Oriana House, Inc., Emily owns six horses 🐴 and is an auxiliary member of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Unit. In 2011, she was chosen to represent Oriana House, Inc., as a member of Akron’s Child and Family Leadership Exchange Class XVII, and in 2025 she was selected to sit on the faculty for the Supreme Court of Ohio’s Judicial College. 🏆🙌🏼💛 Emily is most grateful for her job when she can motivate and empower staff to make effective decisions that carry the weight of changing someone’s life for the better. We are SO lucky to have a strong working woman like Emily on our team, and we appreciate her contributions to the Turning Point program😁💜
