Michael F.
Direct Support Professional
Hello, my name is Michael Fendall. I am from Portland and looking forward to meeting and engaging with other members of the community. I am passionate about helping people and look forward to doing so with any individuals I support. I am a huge sports fan and enjoy both playing and following/attending sporting events (Go Ducks!). In addition to sports fandom, I enjoy both board and card games as a way of relaxing.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in history; I have worked as a paraeducator with children on IEP/504 plans where we help students get a personalized education along with other general care while at school. Here at ARISE I have worked with Adults with IDD’s with day-to-day tasks as well as helped with gaining more independence and confidence in themselves.
I am excited for the opportunity to serve my community and help people reach their goals while experiencing new things myself!
