Charlie G. Care Companion in Lake Oswego, OR 97035

My name is Charlie Guinasso. I have been working as a special education assistant for the Lake Oswego School District since April 2016 and have worked in Lake Grove Elementary School in the 2017-2018 school year and Oak Creek Elementary School in the 2018-2019 school year. I also have experience working as a personal support worker for a high school student with special needs during the 2019-2020 school year.

I graduated from Portland State University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Writing. I have been interested in working in this field since I was a student at Thomas Edison High School, where I was a strong student leader and co-facilitator of the Diversity Group. I was inspired by my school counselor, who was a strong mentor for me. My academic record shows how dedicated I am to this field. My short-term goal is to help students grow and discover effective learning strategies and my long-term goal is to become a school counselor.
