Justin Leverett

I love to write, learn, and grow, bringing integrity and passionate commitment to my craft. I advocate for mental health, immigrant rights, and I currently provide direct support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In the past I've worked in guest services at Portland Japanese Garden, as a valet, a barista, and as a reporter for a start-up community newspaper. I love music dearly, and I consider nature photography to be an important and extremely sustaining hobby of mine. I'm also a French speaker, a practicing Quaker, and have roots in Jewish faith. I am a lifelong learner and seeker.
