Staff Spotlight

Estelle Mitchell
Estelle Mitchell, Case Management
Estelle Mitchell’s story is a perfect example of courage and the power of self reinvention that defines many of her peers on the Waterfront staff. It’s also a great example of the “It takes a village” idea that makes all of us know we’re part of a bigger community that can thrive when we help each other. In Mitchell’s case, it was an employer who believed in her and gave her a second chance. And, Waterfront Recovery Services that continues to believe in her.
