• Residential Supervisor

  • Oct 2006 - Jul 2011

  As a supervisor at Kidz Ark I was responsible for the overall operations of the Sterling, Co campus. The 3 houses held up to 36 at risk youth and at least 6 staff. The children in our care were most often dual diagnosis individuals, who required a very high level of care. This is the job that got me interested in the educational path that I am currently on.
