What education, skills, and expertise do you bring to your role?

I’ve worked in some capacity with kids since I was a kid. I have been a substitute teacher, a salesperson at banks, a food expo at a summer beach cafe, and taught English to children in Korea. I studied anthropology with a focus on the cultural components. I have traveled to England, Germany, China, Korea, Peru, Guatemala, Israel, and lived in the southern U.S. I feel like I have some perspective on people and try to constantly accept my own challenges as a person. I’ve spent most of my mental health career working with behaviorally challenging or suicidal youth. I work the night shift at Seattle Children’s Emergency Department doing mental health evaluations.
