Jen is a wonderful, strong, and understanding individual who has been bringing a lot of warmth and organization to ProjectABLE as out Chief of Staff since 2022. She has her hands full keeping ABLE running smoothly, consistently checking in with everyone on where tasks are at and providing support to every position; and everyone at ABLE appreciates how much she does for anyone who knocks at her door.

Before coming to ABLE Jen had worked as the Program Manager at VETcare, supporting Veterans in finding employment and stable housing going so far as to be one of the individuals to get the Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program (HVRP) up and running. And before that she graduated with honors from her college with her associates and bachelors at the same time, while balancing a fulltime job and raising a family mostly on her own. Understandably, all of these things put together make up what she's most proud of having accomplished in her life.

Long story short, ABLE is lucky to have her, and she's expressed that her favorite part of working here at ABLE is the peers and co-workers she gets to see daily. If you ask her what her favorite activity is, she'll tell you she can't pick because they're all unique and good in their own way. But, on the note of people, Michelle M. and Vicki G. are dear to her and are big reasons that she loves coming to work!

Carrie is a devoted and caring individual who joined ProjectABLE in 2020 and make sure that everything stays on track as ABLE's Bookkeeper Extraordinaire. Having been a business managers for multiple venues at one time or another before coming to ProjectABLE, she has been well equipped for every facet of her job with us which can range from making sure ABLE's bills are paid in full and on to ensuring that taxes are in order and ready to submit when tax season rolls around each year. The organization is lucky to have her.

When she's not working at ABLE her life is full in other areas. Carrie has been married to her wonderful husband for thirty years and had the joy of raising four lovely children with him which is one of her biggest accomplishments. She also runs a nonprofit equine rescue, taking care of a multitude of animals that she provides for on her family's farm.

Charlie is a compassionate and creative individual who has been overseeing all of ProjectABLE's activities and groups as the Wellness Coordinator for the Salem location since 2024. He does everything from calendar scheduling to the monthly newsletter, social media posting, and leading groups. However, as an educator, who left the teaching profession after nine years and has his own published book of poetry, their priority and passion focuses on training and supporting ABLE's facilitators to be the best they can be.

He understands that each recovery journey is unique and genuinely lives to those standards, keeping patience for both himself and others as wellness needs are balanced with progress. He's learned through his own journey that individuals do not heal alone, because as social creatures we require the support that others provide in that venture. He's said that as people do the work to heal themselves, they'll naturally model healing for others, and the more people who do this the more individuals there are working towards fixing the systems that didn't accept them before. All of this contributes to the fact that facilitating groups is Charlie's favorite part of his job as it allows for connection, shared creation, and pushes him and others to grow as people with every interaction.

Outside of work, Charlie enjoys reading, yoga, and writing poetry. He also attends live music venues when time allows, and to date Melissa Etheridge has been his favorite live performance.
