Clarissa Gonzalez has been living in the Northeast community for nearly 25 years.

She is the customer service associate at Walgreens on the corner of Hardesty and Independence, or, in her words, “the friendly face you see at Walgreens when you come in the front door.”

Gonzalez said her favorite part about the Northeast is the people.

“I love the diversity of our community,” she said. “I love my customers. I’m here for them. They really make my day, they put a smile on my face.”
