Bio
Kevin OKeefe
Aaron is a reliable professional who works hard and can be counted on. In my time working with him, he was able to connect with clients very well and to help direct them in positive ways. He quickly understands the needs of individuals and can aid them in making progress toward their goals. He is empathetic and excellent at holding boundaries with clients. I would fully recommend him.
LinkedIn User
Aaron served as an exemplary role model for staff and students alike in his role as Senior Staff at Second Nature Entrada. He demonstrated a powerful combination of compassion, insight, openness to feedback, and an ability to recognize and build upon the strengths of his (often resistant) students to create outstanding outcomes under challenging circumstances. Additionally, his documentation was impeccable, he was friendly and approachable, and he was willing to do whatever it took, for as long as it took, to complete a task. Throughout my experiences with Aaron, he maintained a refreshing sense of humor about our adventures and was a delight to work with. I recommend him without reservation and would hire him again in an instant!
