Staff Profile - Admissions Assistant Michelle Asbury
Michelle Asbury is a perfect example of how being admitted to Waterfront Recovery Services is a life changer. It was nearly three years ago that Asbury came straight from a hospital into Waterfront. Her previous lifestyle had created some serious medical issues. But before completing the program, she knew that her life was back on track and that this is where she wanted to work. Asbury is now the Admissions Assistant.
Asbury found other employment after leaving Waterfront but came back to get that job after the mandatory six month separation. Then Medical Director, founder Dr. Ruby Bayan, brought her on. “I started in the front office where I was working really crazy hours, a graveyard 3 to 11 PM shift.” She then moved into Admissions. “It’s nice because I get off at 4 PM every day so I have time to get things done and get to my medical appointments.”
