Employee Celebrates Two Years at the Foundation

Last month marks Program Coordinator Chiara Corey’s two-year anniversary at the RLS Foundation. Her areas of responsibility are many – from managing support groups, organizing webinars and Board of Directors meetings, to monitoring social media… It’s a good thing that she is the ultimate multitasker!

“Chiara has a great attitude and is always willing to do whatever it takes to support the RLS community or her peers," Executive Director Karla Dzienkowski said. "I recognize and appreciate her dedication to the RLS Foundation."

Chiara has a degree in communications, and is a Certified Surgical Technologist, which gives her a diverse background that includes marketing, public relations and healthcare; this gives her the perfect skillset to get it all done. If you’ve ever called the office and spoken with Chiara, you’ve experienced her quirky yet adorable Boston twang, as she is a transplant from the Boston/Rhode Island area.

"Chiara is a lot of fun to work with," Membership Coordinator Faith Duncan said. "She is patient, reliable & smart, an excellent teacher, extremely compassionate with members, and has a super witty personality, which makes the office a great environment! I especially enjoy the moments when she breaks out into Italian or crosses her eyes at me!"

Outside the office, her world revolves around Hunter, the extremely handsome, energetic & protective Shih-Poo she rescued many years ago; and Jeffrey, her adopted neighborhood cat. And in a former life, Chiara was both a musician and a dancer! While she doesn’t dance professionally any longer, you might still catch her singing or strumming on Facebook … if you’re lucky.

Thank you for all of your hard work, Kiki! We love you!
