Trust me when I say NOBODY is more deserving of this award than Christina Purvis. I have had the honor of working with her for many years now, and I can say without doubt she is the kindest, most genuine person I have known. Christina Has 

a presence about her that is very calming, this affects our environment in a very positive way. I truly respect her ability to be assertive while also being kind and empathetic. Her clients are lucky to have her, and I consistently hear positive remarks her clients make 

about her. Christina will truly go to any length to help another person, and when she does, she puts 100% effort into the task at hand. Her work ethic is outstanding, and she constantly pushes me to want to do better at my job, simply by seeing the efforts she makes. She doesn’t just want to do the job; she wants to do the job to the best of her ability. She has this balance of intelligence and humility that I truly with I could achieve. It allows her to always offer her clients the best possible services. As a team player Christina cares about the functioning of the organization. If there is something extra that needs to be done, Christina will make sure it’s covered while some of the rest of us will try to avoid getting involved.

I really can’t say enough good things about her: she is an awesome person, a very skilled counselor, and a vital part of the team.
