| How long have you been with Creative Health Services? |
Since fall of 2010 |
| In your words, what do you do at Creative Health Services? |
Coordinate putting all the pieces of the puzzle together to help young people deal with those things that frustrate them so they can be successful. |
| Why do you do what you do? |
I have taught, coached, and been a building level administrator at the secondary level in public education and was the director of an alternative high school in Philadelphia. As much as I enjoyed working with the students at the level I always wondered what it would be like to make an impact when they were younger. I now have the opportunity and love every minute of it. |
| What keeps you working with Creative Health Services? |
The kids and the staff. Working with young people and their families is more productive when you are working with people who operate as a family. |
| In your time with Creative Health Services, what accomplishments are you most proud of? |
Having played football for 14 years, as a lineman, it was never about personal accolades, it was about team. That is how I approach my role with Creative Health. To answer the question in the context, I am most proud of the fact that Children's Partial is here to help young people. |
| What's your favorite part of your job? |
The kids and their families, the staff, and working with the local school districts. |
