Caitlin is new to the Direct Support Provider community. She has lived in the Pacific Northwest her entire life, and every time she tries to leave the state, she feels drawn back to its beautiful landscape. She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in neuroscience at Portland State University and is working toward a career in psychiatry. Caitlin aims to create a safe, respectful, and adaptive environment that meets each person’s unique needs.

Outside of work, Caitlin enjoys all types of arts and crafts, especially painting and collage. She also enjoys playing Stardew Valley and Baldur’s Gate 3, cooking, and developing her own recipes. She loves the outdoors, especially anything involving water, a floaty, a shady tree, or a hammock. Every August, she takes trips to the Oregon Coast and camps in the Mount Hood National Forest. As much as she loves the outdoors, Caitlin also enjoys relaxing days spent listening to music, reading, learning something new, and staying cozy indoors.
