I will be running for District 1! Quick background, Im a dually licensed mental health therapist and behavior analyst. Currently a Doctoral Candidate for my PhD in Special Education/School Counseling. I run and operate a counseling agency and my primary focus is on low income and medcaid based families. Previously, I worked at DDA Headquarters where I managed a statewide budget for behaviorl health services. I also was part of the original design team for the autism/intellectual disabilities inpatient unit at Seattle Childrens Hospital. As a fiscally responsible business owner and mental health clinician, I hope to bring perspectives on influencing the way we spend our money while supporting the well being of our students and families. I cannot continue to sit and watch students recieve sub par IEP/504 plans and contribute to a system that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on sending our kids to out of state residential schools. Im looking for your support in creating meaningful change for our community.
