Dexter, Missouri -  Taco Bell has named Ashley Stephens of Bernie, Missouri as Taco Bell’s Employee of the Month in Dexter, Missouri.

Ashley is a 17 year old Senior at Bernie High School, home of the Mules.  She loves ice skating, photography and hockey.  She is also an avid artist who enjoys drawing cartoon characters.

Most students would find holding down a part-time job and attending high school extremely difficult, but Ashley juggles both very well and seems to excel in most everything she tries.

Working at Taco Bell has helped Ashley, like many other young student employees, grow as a person.  She has learned how to take on more responsibility at work and at home, handle money and customers, make a commitment to her hours of work as well as hours of studying for school and she is learning a much needed skill; time management. 

Congratulations Ashley! The Stoddard County community is very proud of you and your accomplishments!
