My Personal Beliefs and Interests
After many years of working for Baltimore City Public Schools, Damian went to work in a Level 5 school, Kennedy Krieger Institute as a Behavior Specialist. Here, his focus shifted from education to wanting to have a better understanding of how the mind works and its impact on people. Damian returned to school and received his master’s degree in Human Services with a concentration in Counseling from Lincoln University-Pennsylvania. He interned at another Level 5 school, The Children’s Guild, where he worked closely with the Clinical Department. Damian later enrolled at NorthCentral University, where he received a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in General Marriage and Family Therapy. While pursuing the certificate, he worked with several couples and honed his couple’s therapy skills. Damian is also a Therapeutic Crisis Intervention who trains and assists agencies, schools, and families in verbal de-escalation strategies and behavior modification.
