In 2008 I worked with a 13-year-old girl who had autism, depression and anger management problems. I would come over and wait for her to get home from school and then we would hang out together for a couple hours until her mom came home from work. We colored a lot and after a while she started getting more comfortable and would open up to me more and more each day. Occasionally we would go out to eat, go to the store or run errands together. This opportunity, as well as working at several camps and working as a substitute aid for the a school district has given me a passion and understanding for those who have special needs. I myself have dealt with a lot of health issues over my lifetime and I know what it's like to feel like nobody understands what you are going through. My desire is to walk alongside someone who may feel the same way and meet them exactly where they are and develop a trusting relationship with them. I currently work part-time as a lead sales associate in retail and I live in Tualatin. I usually work in the evenings from 4-8:30 p.m. and sometimes on the weekend, but my schedule is flexible.

Danika and I go back to when she was our counseling assistant in the school office. She worked as a volunteer in my summer police program for at-risk students for several years. After she completed her first year of college we hired her a recreational leader for a team of students. Her duties wrapped around the role as participant and leader. She has kept in touch through her long college career until she recently graduated. She has also, taken care of our home and dog over the years when my wife and I vacation. She is a great young lady to have on any team. sincerely, Lex B., retired public school counselor.
