  My name is Jayden, and I am from Safford, Arizona. I moved to Flagstaff in 2021 to attend Northern Arizona University. I recently graduated with my B.A. in psychology and have been accepted into NAU's graduate program for Clinical Mental Health Counseling where I will achieve my master's degree. 

I have always had a passion for helping people which led me to a job with AmeriCorps where I gained a sense of community and was able to turn my passion into a job. I learned to help students and meet their individual needs. After graduate school, I plan to pursue a career that continues to allow me to help others and serve my community, whether that be a RBT, BCBA, or Licensed Counselor.

 My name is Celene, and I’m originally from Tucson, though, I’ve lived in Flagstaff for the past 6 years! I came here to go to NAU and study social work, but I soon found working in the mental health field is where I want to be. I have years of experience in rehabilitation, inpatient behavioral health care, and many volunteering events to help my community. Prior to being at Kaibab, I worked in a psychiatric hospital, where my passion for helping people grew. It’s always been important to me to meet any situation with an open mind, empathy, and compassion. Working with people to enhance their quality of life- to become the best versions of themselves brings me lots of joy. When I’m not at work, I love to travel, hike, go to concerts, and hang out with my friends! Better yet, my favorite thing to do is explore Flagstaff with my dog (and best friend) Genevieve!
