Employee of the Month
It's great when your coworkers nominate you for an award- it's even better when the nomination comes from the boss!
Justice of the Peace Jennifer Jermaine recently nominated her clerk- Yuvitza- for our version of Employee of the Month - the CRAFT Award.
“Yuvi leads with quiet strength and compassion for all those who come through our court,” Jermaine wrote. “She serves as a mentor to all our Clerk II positions and takes great care in teaching them case processing and courtroom procedures.”
The whole Ocotillo Court Center erupted in applause as Yuvi shyly accepted the award.
“I’m always in competition with myself,” she smiled. “I always strive to be as best as I can possibly be. Just for myself. And see how far I can go.”
Well, it wasn't long after that when Yuvi earned a promotion to deputy court manager, showing that great work has its rewards.
Thank you, Yuvi, for all that you do!
