She is filling the position left vacant by Norma McCormick’s retirement. Becke is originally from Knott County and is a graduate of Knott Central. After high school she moved to Ohio where she obtained an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education while working full time as a preschool teacher at Headstart. She was later promoted to area manager for Headstart and then returned to school and obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services at Urbana University. After graduation, Becke accepted a position as Director of a Family and Youth Center where she worked for 4 years. While working at the Youth Center, she said she saw the desperate need for services for youth with disabilities in her community. Becke applied for a position with Rehabilitation Services Commission (now Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities) and was hired as a Transitional VR Counselor. She said she found her passion working with OOD. She was with that agency just over six years when her father passed away in Kentucky. In order to be closer to family, she chose to move back to Kentucky. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Since August 2015, Becke has worked at the Kentucky River Community Care as a Service Coordinator within the Knott County schools. She has two children, a son 24, and a daughter, 13. In her spare time Becke said she enjoys doing the simple things in life such as spending time with her children, playing board games and Old Maid and attempting to help her grandparents, ages 84 and 86, with their garden. She said she is excited to be working as a VR counselor again and looks forward to meeting the rest of the OFB staff in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please be sure to introduce yourself to Becke when you get the opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jennifer Wright</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kentucky Career Center</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Office for the Blind</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>275 East Main Street</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>2nd Floor Mail Stop 2-EJ</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Frankfort, KY 40621</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Phone: (502) 782-3407</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Toll Free (800) 321-6668</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Fax: (502) 564-2951<br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:JenniferN.Wright@ky.gov" target="_blank"><span lang=FR>JenniferN.Wright@ky.gov</span></a></span><span lang=FR style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D'><img border=0 width=171 height=95 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D1BCE8.B1E5D880" alt="Description: cid:image005.png@01CF2264.26B12010"></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
