Outside of Cares Jason works for a local software company with a career and focus in customer experience. In his free time he loves to spend time with his wife and two young sons camping, hiking, playing sports and reading. Overall working hard to enjoy life to its fullest. 

Sarah has been an Employment Support Specialist at Cares of Washington since December 2012. Before joining our team she worked in mental health at the Community Psychiatric clinic here in Seattle.

As an Employment Support Specialist Sarah spends her time helping people with developmental disabilities excel at their jobs. She works with clients beginning a new job, helps them to learn new tasks and job skills, and checks in with supervisors frequently to ensure her clients are doing well.

Sarah is also the Cares of Washington job coach for all Microsoft supported employees! As a job coach it is her job to be along the side of her employees to make sure they understand their job duties and become stable within their jobs. She supports them throughout the learning process and does a weekly follow up with both her employee and employer to make sure everything is going well.

For Sarah the most rewarding part of her job is working with her clients and seeing them succeed in their jobs where they in turn feel good about themselves. She loves knowing her clients feel a sense of self satisfaction when they are succeeding at their place of employment

Outside of working Sarah likes to visit her family in Wenatchee and Lake Chelan. She currently lives in Seattle so enjoys places like Green Lake, Alki, Leshi and any place that allows her to swim and lay out in the great summer weather we have been having!
