Please help us welcome Brittney Myers to the WCS team!
Brittney brings a unique blend of compassion, resilience, and hands-on experience to her new role. She recently served as a paraprofessional at Cridersville Elementary through the Auglaize County ESC, where she supported students with diverse learning needs. Prior to that, she worked at Lima Memorial Hospital, ensuring safe and clean environments for patients and staff.
Originally from Illinois, Brittney graduated from Dundee-Crown High School in 2005 and moved to Ohio in 2020. She brings a deep well of empathy and resilience to her role, shaped by her experience as a full-time caregiver for her two children, both diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis—one of whom has undergone a liver transplant.
In her free time, Brittney enjoys coloring and sewing, and cherishes time with her two kids, her husband of nearly 15 years, and their two dogs.
We’re so glad to have her heart, dedication, and experience here at WCS. Welcome, Brittney!
