Tami’s journey here at ASI began with a simple volunteering gig. She was asked to lead a Bible Study for a handful of Consumers which quickly grew to 20+ Consumers weekly. A couple of months into our Jesus Time, Tami was offered a DSP position. After 4 months as serving as a DSP, Tami accepted the PC position. The beginning of 2024, the QIDP-D position became available and she accepted. “I truly love working with our Consumers, growing with them and learning from them.”
