Meet some of our amazing volunteer facilitators!
JOE
Pronouns: they/them
Joe is a graduate from Saint Martin’s University, double majoring in Psychology and Business Administration, with a minor in Gender and Identities Studies. They have plans to pursue a career in counseling for the LGBTQA* community as well as continuing their education in pursuit of a PhD. When they are not working or studying, they enjoy reading fantasy novels (Power Surge being a current favorite), playing board games, listening to D&D podcasts (D20 Dames FTW!!!), and going to the ocean. Their music tastes are quite eclectic, ranging from Keith Urban to Lindsey Stirling to Leroy Sanchez to Fall Out Boy to Parov Stelar and beyond. The 2021-2022 school year will be their fourth full year as a facilitator and they cannot wait to learn from this year’s youth and support them in this crazy ride we call ‘life’! P.S. Joe believes that pineapple most *definitely* belongs on pizza. All pizza.
