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 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.
