Tren is a Service Access Specialist in Little Rock. As part of our case management team, Tren
works with clients to connect them to HIV care available through the Ryan White
program. She creates a plan of care
for each client and assists them in accessing community resources and
services.
We recently checked in to learn a little more about
Tren. Here’s what we learned:
Tren is inspired daily by her son. According to this proud mother, “he’s God’s
GREATEST gift to me and its only right that I do my best and work as hard as I
can to instill the values of education and importance of family.” She is also inspired by historical places of
significance. When asked what her
favorite travel destination was, she said Washington, DC. “It’s my favorite place because it has so
many monumental places, such as the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial.”
If you visit the Little Rock office, you may see Tren multi-tasking
to help clients and get things done. In
both working with clients and in her own life, she often recalls a quote from
the movie The Players Club: “Make the
money. Don’t let it make you.” She says
although her phone may ring off the hook all day long, she also gets a lot of
laughs from her clients and co-workers throughout the day to make up for
it. One moment she remembers well is
seeing her name on her office door for the first time. “It’s corny, I know, but it made me feel
‘official’.”
When asked what words she would use to describe ARcare
Positive Connections, she said “motivating, life-changing, and trustworthy.”
Thank you, Tren, for being a motivating force in the lives of our clients at ARcare Positive
Connections.
