The Fulton County office also expressed its appreciation for Carrington’s prompt response and eagerness to assist with the case.

The nomination went on to discuss how Carrington often assists coworkers with cases after hours as well as her willingness to accept challenging cases, engage families and seek solutions.

“Michelle’s effective, ‘straight-to-the-point’ communication skills allow her to quickly build a positive rapport with difficult families,” the nomination form said. “She is passionate about the families she serves and works tirelessly to find resources to strengthen the family unit.”
