Introducing IPMG's Employee Owner of the Day: Kelley Kearney!

Kelley was nominated for this award by the parent of an Individual she serves. The nomination stated, "She helps me out when I need her."

Kelley writes, "I am thankful to be nominated for IPMG Employee Owner of the month. I have worked for IPMG since the beginning! I will be celebrating 15 years of employment this year! I feel like the lucky one that gets to work with such amazing individuals and families!

I have been married for almost twenty years to my husband (Matt) that I met at Purdue. We have two sons, Ethan (16) and Evan (14) and a variety of pets. The flexibility of this job has allowed me to feel like a working mom and a stay at home mom at the same time while raising my boys. In my free time, I love to travel with my family and friends. I also enjoy watching my sons participate in tennis, basketball, band and school plays.

I graduated from Purdue University (BOILER UP) in 1998 with a degree in Psychology. I grew up in northern Indiana and returned there after college. I spent three years working in a self-contained classroom with youth with a variety of behavioral needs. I got married in 2001, moved to Kokomo, and started working for a local provider as a QIDP. During those years I learned about case management and knew I wanted this opportunity. After my first son was born in 2005, I began working for a case management company. In 2006 I was hired by IPMG…..and I haven't looked back! I truly love this job, and can't imagine myself anywhere else. My co-workers are some of the best people that I know and are always willing to provide feedback and assistance when needed. My caseload is a very wide variety of abilities and ages (3 years old all the way up to 79 years old). I continue to learn new things every day from the individuals and families I serve. I am one lucky case manager to get the opportunity to get to know each one of them and be a part of their lives."

Congratulations, Kelley! We are so blessed to have you on our team!
