Above and Beyond: this week, Angie went above and beyond by allowing me to use her kitchen equipment due to a failure so some equipment in my kitchen; she said, "come on, girl, we got this"; several times, I have felt over my head, and Angie reached out to me multiple times checking on me and even asked if my team needed anything; this shows she treasurers her colleagues' wellbeing
Extraordinary Leadership: I have been able to witness her lead and guide the VHS kitchen team; she has such awesome leadership and always willing to assist her team at any time
