LaDonna Gomez has been an Employment & Playcare assistant at the Mesa County Workforce Center for the past year and a half and is a huge asset to her busy team. LaDonna’s position always keeps her on her toes–she spends half of her time in the Resource Room helping customers with job searching, building resumes, or filing unemployment claims, and the other half of her time in the Playcare center taking care of children whose parents are attending appointments at the WFC. You may also find LaDonna helping out with Cooking Matters, a Hilltop program that connects WFC clients to a fun service that they greatly benefit from. As part of the Hilltop team, LaDonna strives to put people first: whether it’s the customers she serves or the members of her team, she is always willing to help out where needed and does so with a smile and positive attitude. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her life and is highly deserving of the Mission Award.
