Tristan started working in the school setting in 2013 as a para-educator. He really believes this was a chance for him to make a difference and mold young minds. In being in the school and assisting these young men and women, Tristan knew this was the path he was destined to take. In doing so, he went back to school at Youngstown State for Education. He was blessed enough to land a job as a behavioral specialist for Youngstown City schools. His growth in childhood development is only continuing to grow and he credits that to working in multiple school districts such as East Palestine City Schools, Youngstown City Schools, East Liverpool City schools, and Crestview Local. Being able to see the difference in each area has allowed him to be able to connect with the youth in many different ways, seeing the different challenges they all faced from different backgrounds. Tristan is beyond blessed for the opportunity to be back in East Palestine City Schools, as he provides the tools he has acquired over his 8 years working with the youth!

Tristan has his education from Youngstown State University, with a focus in Education, and the American Military University, with a focus in Childhood Development.

When asked what Tristan believes he is awesome at, Tristan replied, “I believe I am very good at bringing out the best in each individual I am in touch with. I believe in helping our youth bring out their strength and abilities to be the best version of themselves they can be! We are all awesome in one way or another, and I believe I am awesome in helping others find that in themselves!”
