May 2023 Employee of the Month

We are pleased to announce that our Employee of the Month for the month of May is Dana Clay!

Dana has been with Aviva for over two years working at the Wallis House. She has a nurturing way of speaking with the residents, and the residents look forward to her working the graveyard shift so they can talk to her. Although Dana has a huge heart, she is able to be assertive when needed, giving the residents “tough love”, which they respond well to. The residents at the Wallis House not only have a great deal of respect for Dana but speak about her in such a way that some of them see her as a “mother figure with great advice.”

Dana is a dedicated team player and always open to working overtime when needed to ensure that all shifts a covered. Dana is respected by her coworkers and leads by example. It is an honor to have Dana as an Aviva staff member and the Wallis House is thankful for having her.

Dana is also a single mother to her teenage son, who has a passion for music. She encourages her son to pursue his music career by attending music classes and being part of a band. Dana is hopeful that her son will one day make it in the music industry.
