Baughn Named MMI Employee of the Month

MMI’s Employee of the Month for April is Christy Baughn. Christy returned to MMI in August of 2015 as a Connections Coach after a six-year hiatus. She previously worked in the Alma Branch as a coach for 13 years. Christy is a hard worker who does a great job helping MMI’s persons served to connect with the community. 

She works with a variety of groups and does an excellent job with them all, but has a couple that stand out. Christy does an outstanding job with the individuals that go to the Farmer’s Market, Isabella County Restoration House’s day shelter for homeless individuals and collecting donation canisters at local businesses for the Isabella County’s Soup Kitchen. She is great at promoting independence with the individuals she works with.

Christy is encouraging and offers people many different opportunities to participate in activities that have a positive impact on the community. She is well liked by the persons served she works with and goes out of her way to get to know them as individuals, which helps make their experiences at MMI positive.

Christy is a team player who can be counted on to jump right in and get things done.  She is also a driver for one of the MMI van routes, but doesn’t hesitate to cover other routes if she is available. With her experience & knowledge, she’s a great resource for all staff but especially the new employees that come into the department appreciate her guidance. MMI is proud to acknowledge Christy Baughn as the April Employee of the Month.
