Juan

Bilingual Peer Support Specialist/Victim Advocate

Juan is originally from San Antonio, Texas, where his parents, brother, sister, and two children still call home. He enjoys staying active at the gym, trips with his kids when they visit, gaming in his downtime, hanging out with his cat Gene and cheering on his favorite teams: the Texas Longhorns, San Antonio Spurs, and Baltimore Ravens.

Juan began his career working in corrections before transitioning into the school system as a School Resource Officer in Texas. After relocating to Arizona, he took on a role as a Behavioral Specialist and Teacher. Wanting to make an even greater impact, Juan became a Peer Support Specialist and Victim Advocate at Lori's Place. He is passionate about helping others and is truly excited to connect with and support people in the community.
