Star of the Month

This month we would like to recognize Darcy Turner as OEI’s June Star of The Month. Darcy is part of Administrative Assistant Team working out of our Mexico Office. Darcy has worked for the agency for over 6 years and in that time has effortlessly juggled many different responsibilities. In her current capacity with the agency, Darcy handles all repayee functions for our Community Case Management Department as well as monthly billing for the entire agency. Darcy is someone who never leaves any stone unturned. Her attention to detail and accuracy in her work is impeccable. She values importance of quality work and certainly sets the bar high when it comes to having a strong work ethic. She is someone you never have to worry about when it comes to getting the job done! Thank you for all that you do for The CCM department and agency as a whole. We are beyond lucky and grateful to have you as part of the OEI Family!
