Debbie Andriette - Director of Human Resources

I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, located in Northeast Ohio with four brothers. I started my career in HR shortly after graduating from the University of Akron. I worked for a Personnel Employment Service for five years in the Mansfield and Wooster areas, focusing on employment services, recruitment, and business development.

My family and I relocated to the Toledo area in 1999. In 2001, I began working in Human Resources for a non-profit organization and realized the impact I could make in people’s lives. I was part of an organization whose main focus was saving lives and that was an extremely rewarding experience.

In 2007, I started at the Ability Center. This was my first experience working with people with disabilities. I learned to appreciate the importance of Independent Living very quickly. My experience here has been very rewarding because it has enabled me to hire qualified people to represent a top-notch organization and to be part of a team working toward a common goal of building and supporting inclusive communities.

Andrea Stoller - Community Relations Manager / Volunteer Programs

I am from Perrysburg. Interested in education, I have a degree in Secondary Science Education from Indiana University. During my junior year of college, my younger brother and best friend, Ryan, was injured in a car accident. It left him with a Traumatic Brain Injury. Being his number one supporter, I lived through his recovery and saw how devastatingly hard getting assistance can be. Now my personal mission and passion is to assist individuals with disabilities, especially through their transitional phases.

I’ve just received (Spring, 2011) my Masters from the University of Toledo in Special Education. Working at The Ability Center has been a dream of mine, one I am now living, and I couldn’t be happier!
