When asked what she likes most about her job, Mather said, “Just about everything! I love the patients I get to work with and the opportunity to assist them in having safe plans when they are ready to leave the hospital. I love the relationships I have established with local community resources, including skilled nursing facilities and home care agencies, while making connections for patients. I have great coworkers in a community hospital setting. I’m very grateful for a job I enjoy so much.”
Mather was raised in Brooklyn, Connecticut and currently resides in Pomfret, Connecticut. She holds an associate’s of human services degree from Quinebaug Valley Community College, a bachelor’s of social work degree from Eastern Connecticut State University, and a master’s of social work degree from Wheelock College.
