Drew Biddle Email & Phone Number

I started my journey working in a place completely unrelated to my desired career pathway but learned a lot from that experience including the importance of understanding how the parts of a company come together to create a functioning unit and the importance of a strong work ethic in the face of diversity. Six years later (after obtaining my Master's degree) I began my journey in my desired career path providing therapy for children, families, and adults using various modalities suited to the needs of the families. Three years after starting as a therapist I began as a co-trainer with one of my esteemed colleagues providing Motivational Interviewing trainings. This is where I discovered my passion of melding my knowledge of therapy and facilitating learning for others to assist them in becoming effective communicators and service providers. Two years after becoming a co-trainer I have become the lead facilitator for this training and have been enjoying this opportunity thoroughly. I have also been fortunate enough to assist in strengthening or developing relationships with other service providers and organizations that interact with the people I serve and have helped shape the culture in several parts of my organization. This happened several ways including input on policy and procedures for new programs we developed, collaborating directly with people providing services outside my organization that directly benefit the people I serve, and continuing to collaborate and interact with service professionals within my agency. My journey has been full of learning experiences thus far and I look forward to continuing my development as a professional.
