LovingWhat You Do Meet Monique, a Compassionate Intake Specialist

This scholarship means Eva can continue her family’s history of servitude, even if she doesn’t actively serve in the military. “It’s a rigorous and pricey education, so earning this scholarship means I can focus on the education aspect and not the financial one while earning my degree,” Eva says. “It allows me to work toward my career, which will allow me to pay it forward.” Today, Eva serves with Gonzaga’s service-focused sorority and often spends time at home with her family.

Our intake team is the first group our clients interact with at Marc Whitehead & Associates. We know these callers are experiencing frustration, and it’s our goal to help them feel welcomed and supported.

Intake specialist Monique Muras does just that. Monique has been part of our Marc Whitehead & Associates family for more than two years. She first joined the firm as a receptionist, but we quickly saw her warm personality and calm demeanor as a perfect fit for our intake team. Monique utilizes both her knowledge of this field and her compassion to guide our potential clients through the intake and onboarding process. “I enjoy that we’re able to help people who are struggling,” Monique says. “It makes us happy to make them happy. We are taking a burden off them and holding their hand through the process. It makes you feel good to come to work and help people on a daily basis.” Monique enjoys coming to work every day. “I love it here. People here are so nice,” she says. “It’s not a negative environment. We do lunches, we do happy hours, we do a lot of team building … I’m happy to come to work on a daily basis.” When she isn’t at work, Monique is likely spending time with her family and extended family in her hometown of Waelder. She, her husband, and their daughters enjoy fishing together, too. Thank you for your continued commitment, Monique.

She’s also an avid reader — particularly of “Harry Potter” — and enjoys hiking and deep sea fishing, which is a callback to her family’s time in Alaska. We’re proud to support Eva, and we know she will do great things with her education! You can learn more about our scholarships and other resources online at DisabilityDenials.com.
