👋 Hi My name is Jason Rodriguez Escalona. I'm a social worker, passionate learner, and future leader.

About Me 🤓


...

I am a diligent and dedicated social worker with a profound commitment to serving communities, including LGBTQIA+, homeless, underrepresented, and special-needs populations, through an intersectional and trauma-informed perspective. My extensive experience in this field includes offering essential and theraputic support, crisis intervention, and counseling to both youth and young adults, facilitated through group and individual counseling.

Beyond my dedication to social work, I have a strong interest in sustainable agricultural technology. I believe that the intersection of social work and sustainable agriculture presents a unique opportunity to address problems and form solutions.I strive to work towards improving food security, ensuring environmental sustainability, and taking on creative projects and roles that fosters community organizing.

I am committed to merging my social work expertise with sustainable agricultural technology to address the needs of individuals and communities. My scope of work is firmly grounded in solidarity with the intersection of my own identities, particularly supporting QTBIPOC individuals. I aspire to take on roles that navigate challenging systems for this community, while also actively participating in innovative projects in sustainable agricultural technology. This allows me to make a meaningful contribution at the crossroads of social justice and environmental sustainability, uniting my passion for both areas to drive tranformative and generational change.
