    Monica Roderique, RN, Program Manager

    Monica Nelson-Roderique grew up right here in Steubenville and earned her BSN from Franciscan University. After living away for 18 years—including two adventurous years in Japan—she returned home two years ago to be closer to family.

    Her nursing career has taken her everywhere, from Cardiac Surgery ICU to L&D PACU.

    Life at home is full and joyful with 4 amazing kids—Moira (18), Gianna (16), Damian (14), and Kateri (10)—plus 4 cats, 1 pup, and even a snake! Monica is blessed with 6 siblings and a big family that brings her incredible joy—especially her many nieces and nephews.

    When she’s not caring for others, Monica loves anything outdoors—especially if animals are involved—mentoring youth, playing ultimate frisbee, dancing, holy hours, family adventures, and quiet evenings by the fire.

    Kelcea Danielson, Case Manager

    Kelcea Danielson served as workforce professional coordinator at Jefferson Community Action Council (CAC), where she worked with clients of all age levels, including children and veterans. There, she assisted clients in locating employment; creating resumes; enrolling in education and training; building job skills and other necessary activities to securing gainful employment. She worked as intake specialist at Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).

    She wants to ensure that women know they can do anything they aspire to do; they just need to overcome their challenges. “We all have obstacles to success. I want women to have the confidence to overcome those. The more they obtain their goals – like housing or transportation – one step at a time, the more confidence they gain. It’s fulfilling to watch them grow.” She and her husband Ronnie live in Steubenville; they have five children.
