A special message to Richie Peréz from his supervisor Jessellin Singh:

Every day, Richie Connects with Empathy by showing up authentically every single day, bringing his enthusiasm and warmth to every interaction. His positive personality is infectious as he lights up every conversation he joins.  Richie is truly invested in and cares about the well being of everyone around him, adding a personal touch to every situation he encounters. He seeks to understand by taking the time and effort needed to ask meaningful and thoughtful questions and invests in dialogue by actively listening. Richie is the type of person who will remember a special date or event, the type of person who is a listening ear when you need one, the type of person who always has a funny joke, the person who is always smiling and the person who you can always count on. I am so grateful to have Richie on my team and to witness the immense kindness that he spreads throughout the organization on a daily basis.”

A special message to Eric Allen from their supervisor Matt Davis:

“Eric is a wonderful example of the virtues we associate with our Reflect and Revolve value: seeking innovative and creative solutions, expanding the boundaries of what is possible, and learning and growing individually and collectively. Eric consistently set their sights not just on how to accomplish a given task, but how to make systemic improvements to the entire process.  They engage with their team and with stakeholders with a positivity that has been described as “a real treat” that “makes life at Crisis Text Line so much better” — and drives bravely forward into unfamiliar territory and technology to improve the quality of life for folks across the organization. Eric genuinely approaches each new problem as an opportunity for collaborative learning, growth, and solutions that have profound and lasting impact. They have taken the initiative to engage with our Employee Communities, take point on cross-team presentations, and generally ensures that everybody he interacts with feels heard, welcome and valued.”
