Michelle Ricker, new head of Public Safety at SHA
Springfield Housing Authority employee Michelle Ricker has been promoted to Manager of Public Safety.
Ricker, who began working at SHA in 2013, now oversees a staff of public safety officers and administrative workers out of the authority’s administrative headquarters at 60 Congress St. in downtown Springfield.
A lifelong resident of Chicopee, Ricker worked in both the Rental Assistance Office and in the Public Safety Office at SHA before her new position as a manager.
Ricker said she enjoys the work itself as well as the working atmosphere at SHA.
“There are so many opportunities for growth, support, training and education here. It’s a very good company for that,” Ricker said.
“I love the job. It involves so many different things; it’s a very busy department. The work is a great fit for me,” she added.
