Pioneer Podcast - Ryan and Erin Interview
The latest episode of "Pioneer Podcast" focuses on the dynamic between a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and a resident at the Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh. The podcast took place on April 8, 2022 and it was a zoom-style interview. The guests were Erin Gannon, who is a resident at Emmaus, and Ryan Martin, who is a part-time DSP at Emmaus. Erin moved to Emmaus after her parents guided her decision. Although she loves her family, she considers the residents and faculty of Emmaus as family too. Ryan began working with Emmaus less than a year ago and she says Emmaus keeps her on her toes and that caregiving has helped her learn many life skills, has improved her mindset, and has given her many great experiences.
