Zella

Hi! I’m Zella. I grew up in Portland and recently moved back after finishing school at the University of Oregon.
I live in SE Portland now and feel grateful to be doing work that’s all about connecting with others,
building trust, and learning from the people I support.
I was drawn to ARISE because I care about creating real relationships and being someone others can count on.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my two cats, Mochi and Meow Meow.
I love being outside, especially near water, going on walks, listening to music,
watching anime or a good TV show, going to the gym, and skateboarding when the weather’s nice.
I’ve also been getting back into reading and always enjoy finding new things to get into or share with others.
I’m really glad to be part of this work and excited to meet and support people in ways that matter to them.
