Meet KADEP Staff Member, Debra Walsh

Welcome to Debra Walsh/MSW

Hi everyone! My name is Debra Walsh and I am

the new Master of Social Work for KADEP. I am really excited to be joining such an awesome community. I am from the Chicago-land area, and I got my Master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In the past, I’ve worked at mental health and counseling centers, so KADEP is a very fun change for me! I have a lot of hobbies, including hiking and biking, and I make my own greeting cards. I also have an identical twin who lives in Minnesota. I’ve been in Colorado for just under a year, and I am so happy to get to stay and work for such a great organization.

Meet KADEP Staff Member John Garrity!

Welcome to John Garrity/MS TRS

My name is John Garrity and I am the new Therapeutic Recreation Specialist at KADEP.

I was born and raised in Maine and came to Boulder, Colorado where I completed my internship with the Expand Program. I have a BS in Sports and Recreation Management and a Masters of Education in Therapeutic Recreation Management. I am an avid outdoorsman and love to ski, hike, and camp.

I also love to cook, love to travel and am a marathon runner. I currently own a service dog, soon to be a therapy dog, named Sully.

I am excited to be a part of KADEP and getting to know all of you!

Adaptive Cycling Day

Thank you Adaptive Adventures!  Adaptive Adventures visited KADEP last week.  We were able to utilize adaptive bikes and enjoyed S'mores by the firepit.  What a beautiful day!  Thank you to Amanda Smutz and Amanda Schierbeck for coordinating this wonderful opportunity!
