Preble Street staff are #CompassionInAction, and we want you to get to know them! This month we’re introducing you to Annick Nzeyimana, Case Worker, Anti-Trafficking Services.
How long have you worked at Preble Street? I have been working at Preble Street and in the Anti-Trafficking Services program for the past two years.
What do you like most about your role? What I love most about my role is helping people who are in need and advocating for individuals who may feel they have little or no hope for a better future. I value being present for clients, listening to them, encouraging them, and walking alongside them. Seeing the progress of clients who once felt hopeless is incredibly rewarding and reminds me why this work matters.
What is the biggest challenge you face in your role? One of the biggest challenges I face is not always being able to meet all of a client’s needs due to limited resources. Wanting to do more and sometimes being unable to do so can be difficult, but it also pushes me to be creative and continue advocating.
What aspects of Preble Street make you proud to work here? I am very proud to be part of an agency that gives a voice to marginalized and underserved populations. Preble Street is a strong and compassionate organization that works tirelessly to restore hope to those who have often been overlooked. Being part of this team is truly an honor.
What is your favorite hobby or activity? I love singing and dancing with my kids. It’s a joyful way to spend time together and recharge.
