Meet Our Staff:
Introducing Ohlaina Steed “Oly”, RHS’s new Peer
Support Supervisor:
Where did you grow up?
*I grew up primarily in Idaho Falls. I
lived in Casper, Wyoming and Jackson Hole for a combined six months with my
ex-husband. His family was from Wyoming and he had a job opportunity. I was a
stay at home mom with no money and no family and really hated being there so I
decided to move back to Idaho Falls without him.
What is one thing in this world that you are
most proud of?
*I am most proud of my two girls. Both of them
are in college now and have accomplished so much. They have come so far in life.
They’re good people, productive, smart, and enjoy helping others.
Do you have any hobbies?
*I love to cook and bake. Some of my favorites
are; fried chicken, chicken noodle soup, and banana bread.
I’m also interested in photography. I like
taking pictures of nature, mountains and everything else.
What is your favorite cuisine?
*Sushi. I first tried it about two years ago and
fell in love. Blue Hashi is my favorite sushi restaurant and I try to go at
least once a month, sometimes more.
If money wasn't an issue, where would you
travel?
*I would travel everywhere! My first choice
would be Italy. I want to learn about the history and see the old
buildings.
What are a few things on your bucket list?
*I want to go Skydiving! I struggle with Bipolar
and when you get to that manic state you can become an adrenaline junkie.
I also would love to go on a cruise through
Alaska. I think that would be an amazing adventure.
Who is the most influential person in your life?
*Within my Career, my coworker, Jane Hymas. She
has been a great role model and mentor to me. She is supportive of the Peer
Support program and encourages me to do well. She is professional and I have a
lot of respect for her. Jane has been an incredible inspiration for me.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
*People that do not wash their hands after going
to the bathroom
People that do not say please and thank you.
People that feel they are entitled and feel they
deserve things in life that they do not work for.
Do you have any pets?
*I have two grandpuppies. One is a Papillion,
and one is Chihuahua Terrier mix.
What is your favorite kind of music genre?
*I love classic rock. I keep my Pandora station
on Classic Rock majority of the time. I also love listening to books on tape
while driving for work.
Thank you Oly!
