Jessa Blackhurst
Glendive,MT
Summary
I moved here to Glendive around 3 years ago from Salem Oregon. I got a job right away working at the pharmacy in Albertsons but I soon felt I wanted to work with kids again and use my psychology degree. I have been a Special Ed teacher at DCHS for two years. If I wanted to continue teaching, I needed to go back to school while working, and it is a lot of hours away from my family right now so I think mentoring would be a better fit.
I was also a therapeutic mentor while living in Oregon 3 years ago. I have raised 4 daughters of my own.
I love working with children and teenagers alike.
