About Me
I’m originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and have spent the past decade working in the field of Special Education, supporting students at both the elementary and high school levels. Currently, I serve as the Workforce Development Program Manager with the OLS program at Bellevue College. I’m passionate about building strong, supportive relationships with young adults and take great pride in helping students identify their strengths, discover their passions, and pursue meaningful career paths.
What motivates me most is watching students grow in confidence as they take on new challenges and build skills that prepare them for life beyond the classroom. I’m especially committed to fostering inclusive environments where neurodiverse students feel seen, valued, and empowered.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest through hiking, camping, and skiing. I’m also an avid photographer and love spending time outdoors with my wife and our dog.
