Direct Support Professional Since 2021
Lisa
My name is Lisa. My hobbies include but are not limited to playing card games and baking cakes. I have worked in this field for the past 15 years. I started with working in a day program with up to 30 clients everyday. I conducted classes such as cooking, math, telling time, and job skills per their ISP’s and also did community outings. I held yearly ISP meetings with their family members and coordinators and anyone else they invited. I transitioned into a one on one support of a young lady with Downs Syndrome.. She was very independent and I supported her in any activities she was interested in doing such as basketball, tennis, cheerleading. While this job has its challenges the reward is seeing someone you support learn a new skill or just become better at one they already have. I love to interact with clients particularly in a group setting and just get them to talking about what’s on their mind.

Lisa
I moved to Oregon in 2017 to be able to explore this amazing state. I love to be outdoors - whether it's hiking, foraging for mushrooms, backpacking, or swimming. If I'm not outside, you can find me hanging out with my cat, cooking, or lifting weights. I have worked with individuals with disabilities since 2015, and currently work for a transition program in Portland as the Vocation Transition Assistant, while also working as a DSP through Oregon Provider for my two lovely neighbors. I love to help others develop their independence through life skills, job skills, and the ability to advocate for themselves.
