Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Amanda goes above and beyond as a postal employee , daughter Mom to 2 beautiful children . She delivers mail in Derby, has her own route and dedicated herself to be courteous to all on her route through this pandemic. She has upheld her same routine and days she was tired and not feeling well, she still completed her route. She has an amazing supervisor who is always on top of being sure they have their PPE. Mail carriers are the most forgotten essential employees!
