Laurel Room Assistant

Austin is grateful to be a part of the Childpeace community. He received his degree in Elementary Education from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa. Upon graduation he taught at varying age levels, but his longest tenured role was spent as a Kindergarten teacher from 2007-2010. He left the teaching profession shortly thereafter to build an acting and modeling career in New York City. You can catch him on Portland stages continuing to tell stories and hone his craft. “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud”. -Maya Angelou
