Asana Recovery would like to announce that Kelsey May and Lyndsay Gasser are being promoted to the position of Senior Admissions Counselor.
Congratulations Kelsey and Lyndsay!
New trainer for Medical Technicians and Behavioral Health Technicians
We are also excited to announce that Veronica Lazaro is being promoted! She now works as the trainer for all Medical Technicians and Behavioral Health Technicians. Veronica will also be working with all new employees helping them get fully onboarded and up to speed when joining the team.
Veronica finds joy in making others happy. She says, “I’m happy if at the end of my day I made somebody laugh. Helping others makes me very very happy!” Veronica also finds happiness when she spends time with her family and friends, including her stepdaughter and pug, Luna.
New member of the Asana Recovery team
We would like to welcome Keelin McGee to our team!
Keelin is originally from New Jersey and has also lived in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and now California, where she intends to stay. She has worked at treatment facilities throughout the country and has been involved in the substance abuse field for six years.
She studied psychology and communications/public relations at numerous colleges between 2011-2018, and played college-level basketball. Now, she joins Asana Recovery as Alumni Coordinator. In this role, Keelin works to stay connected with alumni and celebrate their milestones. She also plans and hosts events for clients, staff, and graduates of the program.
Working in the addictions industry is important for Keelin, as she has an innate passion for helping those who are suffering with addiction. She says “I strive to provide the best care possible for each individual, in hopes of positively affecting their recovery journey.”
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her dog, Hurley. They often take road trips to ghost towns and haunted places. They also go paddle boarding, driving and exploring new places, finding secluded beaches, and going anywhere that's “off the beaten path.” Keelin also enjoys learning about numerology, astrology, and personality types, and creating macrame decor. She also stays busy with hiking, rock climbing, and free climbing.
