Why I chose SSOC
"I chose SSOC because it felt different from anything else I had come across. The program is genuinely structured around each individual student, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach, and that matters when you're working with kids at such different stages of their social development. Coming out of my degree, I wanted to be somewhere that took the work seriously, and SSOC does exactly that. The methodology is clear, the team is invested, and you can actually see the results.”
My Day to Day
"Outside of work, I am someone who genuinely cannot sit still. I play recreational soccer on weekends, I'm always training for something, whether that's a 10K or just a fitness goal I've set for myself, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. I grew up camping and hiking and that has never left me. When I do slow down, it's usually over a good podcast, a home cooked meal with my roommates, or a spontaneous road trip somewhere I've never been."
"You can tell Blake was born to do this."
"From day one, Blake brought an energy to her sessions that my daughter absolutely loved. She has a gift for making kids feel seen and heard without ever making it feel like work. Over the course of the semester we watched our daughter go from someone who dreaded group situations to someone who actively seeks them out. Blake played a huge part in that and we are so grateful."
"We will be back next semester without a second thought."
