My name is Denise Garcia (She/Her/Hers).

I am the Program Administrator at the Jay Mahler Recovery Center. I’ve been at ɫ��ɫ for seven years.

In my view, the best part of my job is working directly with clients. I also enjoy partnering with staff to help them develop their skills and reach their full potential. I always love to see promotions from within.

What makes me really proud of my team and the work we do is when we all come together as a team. My motto at Jay Mahler is, "All hands on deck. We are all on the same boat."

When I’m having a tough day, the thing that keeps me going is having a tasty meal.

My favorite quote or personal motto is, “Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.” — Anonymous.

If I were going to describe ɫ��ɫ in three words, they would be compassionate, go-getters, and supportive.

Thank you for letting us get to know you, Denise! We are so glad to have you as part of #Teamɫ��ɫ!
