My name is Jules and I'm a service focused individual from Chicago, Illinois where I graduated from DePaul University in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in psychology. I plan to graduate from National University in 2024 with a master's degree in applied behavior analysis. 🌇For the last 17 years I've enjoyed a career as an educator and mental health specialist and who has provided clients with direct support and resources in schools, homes, clinics, and community centers. 🧑‍🏫Although I appreciate the opportunities I've had to gain experience working with people of all ages, abilities, and mental health conditions, I've found the most sustainable joy when I'm supported by a team of caring coworkers who all contribute to a healthy workplace environment. 💛Currently I live in Colorado Springs and work full time as a Senior Therapist at PlayDate Behavioral Interventions, a nonprofit whose mission and values align with my own. 🌄 I'm very passionate about mental health advocacy, the neurodiversity movement, and social justice. Let's connect if you're interested in learning more about myself or these subjects! 😁
