A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life and am in my second year at Ockley Green. Previously, I was a school counselor at George Middle School for two years and a Therapeutic Intervention Coach at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt for three years and Cesar Chavez for one. Before working in schools, I spent five years in residential treatment and an independent living programs.
Middle school is a critical time for identity, academics, and life skills. My role is supporting and advocating for students and families as they navigate school, relationships, and personal exploration and growth.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, paddle boarding, snowboarding, camping, playing drums, exploring record stores, reading, cooking, and spending time with my wife and dog.
