Taleen Movses has been working at Special Angels of The Woodlands since 2023. She says working with clients has left a major, positive impact on her life by being a part of clients' growth. Special Angels of The Woodlands is a faith-driven nonprofit organization serving adults 18 and up with intellectual and developmental disabilities through a day activity center.
