Jackie’s Story of Friendship, Growth, and the Perfect Job.

Jackie’s incredible personality and care for everyone around her is shown through her close group of friends that she’s met as a part of the Aspire family. Between playing games, talking about their shared love for movies, and joking with one another, there is never a dull moment.

When she first began her job adventure through Aspire’s Job Support program, there were many roles that caught her interest but never felt right. With some help from Bill, an Employment Specialist who has been working with Jackie for a number of years, they finally found the perfect job for her, an employee at Classic Cinemas.

“Working there has made me the best person I am today.” – Jackie

Ever since she was a little girl, Jackie has had a love for movies. From watching them to learning about the actors and actresses, this job was a perfect match for her. Not only is she able to mesh her passion for movies with her job, but is able to share her personality with everyone that comes to the theater.
