There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a Miracle.
-Albert Einstein

Claudio has called Washington his home since he can remember. He spent his first 13 years in a small town named Bridgeport in Eastern Washington. He then moved to the west of the state and spent 6 years on San Juan Island followed by 4 years in Bellingham. Claudio attended Western Washington University while in Bellingham where he earned his B.S. in Psychology with a focus on developmental psychology. He is a first generation Mexican American, and first-generation college graduate. Claudio’s experience lies in a diverse set of titles from deck hand to doctor’s assistant, and even pantry cook to security guard. He is an older brother to two younger siblings and is happy to be returning as dorm parent for his second year at Spring Street.
