About Lexie

Lexie has a Bachelors of Social Work from the University of Wyoming and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She had been working in residential treatment when the opportunity arose to work in health care, so she jumped at the opportunity and has “been so happy I did so since.”

Lexie has been inspired in her field by Leona McGraw, who works at the YES House and was her boss for three years. “Leona is one of the most compassionate people that I have ever met, and she is determined to help as many people as possible. Every boy that went through the Boys Cottage felt only love from Leona, and that has inspired me to never give up.”

Lexie says she spends much of her spare time at home working on different crafty things such as crocheting. She says she is still working on finding activities to do now that she is finally done with school.

We asked Lexie what makes her feel the most pride in her work at CCH and what excellence every day means to her. Check out her response:

“I enjoy working with adolescents, and I am proud of the changes that they make during their stay on the inpatient unit. I would also say that the people that I work with throughout CCH are wonderful. I enjoy coming to work every day—the people are all so caring.

Excellence every day means coming to work ready to do my best for every person I encounter. Doing what I can to support those I work with. And finding ways to improve the process in which things work.”

Thank you, Lexie for joining the CCH family. We appreciate you!
