Paulette is one of the most joyful and positive people I have met. She is a mother to everyone at our workplace, whether it's new trainees that she's taking under her wing to help build their confidence, or someone going through personal struggles needing advice, or just someone needing a swift reminder they're wonderful while things are tough--it comes naturally to Paulette. Maybe that's because she has several kids of her own, but I think it's who she was born to be--a cheerleader, a friend, a fierce mama bear. Paulette is the designer and salesperson that our customers come back for time and again, and they refer their friends to work with Paulette. Former customers come in years later to say hi to Paulette! That is unheard of in retail, but that's the kind of impact she has each and every day. She is bold, fearless, and will make you giggle deep in your soul. I am nominating Paulette because she is an amazing person who has fallen on hard times. She lost both of her parents within one year, she's been raising her children mostly alone, going through divorce and custody proceedings, supporting an eldest son who is an upstanding member of the US military, and coordinating expensive home repairs--all with an unfailing smile and can-do attitude.
Paulette deserves the support of her community because she has given so much of herself and her joy to those around you.
