Personnel File
Vernitha Fearon Family Services Program Manager
Vernitha Fearon is the Family Services Program Manager in the Orange County Social Services Department. She has served our residents for more than five and a half years, and has accepted increasing responsibility during that time. Vernitha says she’s enjoyed the opportunity to “experience more areas of operation within the department.” The work is not easy. “There are a lot pieces to the role,” she said. “It is not a nine to five, but I love the work and helping the population we serve is rewarding... anytime we have a family who shares their positive experience regarding how we assisted them is great to hear!” she added.
We asked Vernitha what she likes to do in her free time. She laughed. “Free time??? What is that?” She continued, “When I’m not here, I’m with my family. I have four children who keep my husband and me super busy with [their] events.” Despite her busyness, we asked where she would like to travel if anywhere was on the table, and she picked Hawaii to enjoy its peace and beauty. Finally, we asked what she’d want as a superpower, and her answer was a prime example of why she is in the right position. She said she’d love to be able to erase traumatic memories. “In our line of work, trauma is a major factor. I would love to be able to remove that from people and give them the opportunity to go through life without it.” Thanks for all your hard work, Vernitha!
