Susan then moved to Saco where she began managing Independent Living programs for several agencies over the years. She came to Great Bay Services in September of 2017 to build an Independent Living program from the ground up.

Teresa Stephan - Community Participation Services Senior DSP (New Hampshire)

I started at Great Bay in 2011 as a one-on-one staff. I also worked as a floater when my client was out. When he left GBS, I was asked to work as a chef in the kitchen GBS had in Newington. I said yes, but only if I could have clients help with the cooking to work on their goals. When the kitchen closed, I worked as a DSP, still teaching cooking and working on goals. I left the day service program in 2016 to work at our group home in York, Maine until it closed in 2018. I then return to the Dover center as a DSP. I enjoy teaching our clients new life skills and watching them learn new skills. The challenge of the different clients keeps me coming back to help them find a better way to be a part of the community they live in. I enjoy spending time with my dog, walking in the woods. I do a lot of crafting in my spare time. I have a son who lives in Kittery, Maine.
