Jennifer was born and raised outside Dallas, Texas and moved to Washington about ten years ago. She is a visual artist, Reiki practitioner and mother to two young, vibrant girls. Jennifer has taught in early childhood education and was an Instructional assistant in the classroom for many years. It thrills her to see students blossom into their independence in the home environment. Families are at the cornerstone of Jennifer’s work and really authentically working with behaviors and advocating for autonomy with our clients. Jennifer believes that it is vital that we see people first and our abilities or behaviors second. Jennifer feels so blessed to have found her dream job and is always eager to chat about problem solving solutions. When not working she can be found with her husband Kirk (another therapy assistant) camping, hiking or just hanging out in their backyard. They love live music, records, quality time with their girls and laughter.

Kirk is the second born in a family of five brothers. He grew up on a small farm in north west Iowa learning how to live off the land and appreciate the small details in life. He began his career working with adults in group homes in 1994 and studied Elementary education at Iowa State University. Kirk has been working as an instructional assistant in the schools for the last thirteen years in Seattle, WA. He is passionate about serving adults and children with Autism. Kirk loves watching a child master a skill or do something for the first time. Kirk believes that in most encounters with our clients we are the students and they are the true teachers. Kirk is also a musician who plays in both a bluegrass band and his own solo project band around town. You can catch him most nights playing in his yard with his two young girls or playing music on a stage somewhere in the city. He and Jennifer May (his wife) love camping with their family in their vintage camper, exploring the Fremont market, going for long adventurous drives, hiking and discovering new vinyl records.

Drew functions as SEBA’s main Tech Support. In his spare time, Drew is an Environmental Inspector for the State DOT, watching out for Seattle’s fish, wildlife and humans. He is an avid gamer but more than anything else in the world, loves hanging out with his wife, daughter and two 70 pound dogs.
