Amberlee is excited to take on her role as a Lead Personal Agent. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2003 and worked in a variety of human service settings before relocating to the lower 48. Prior to her arrival in Oregon, Amberlee worked as a Case Manager in Lawrence, Kansas and found her niche in working with individuals with disabilities. It did not take long for the west coast to lure Amberlee to Oregon with its promise of outdoor adventures. In addition to being a devotee of all things Alaskan, Amberlee is also an avid reader, an eager explorer and a seasoned softball player.

My favorite color is orange. I enjoy making work fun. Often, coworkers and individuals we serve will witness me singing random songs out loud. Around 3pm daily, I get a craving for chocolate and typically have candy in my office.  I enjoy my job at Full Access and all the wonderful people I meet. Thank you for reading about me.

I love concerts – more so if they are outside. I love to travel! I’m not good at having favorites of things, but if I had to pick an animal it would be Buffalo and my favorite movie is Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone! My dog is spoiled! I have worked in this field for over 15 years – landed in it by accident and stayed because I love it!

Jason grew up in St. Paul, MN, but having lived in Seattle, San Diego, and NYC among other places has certainly expanded his horizons. When he moved to Eugene, where many of his friends in the ASL community are located, he rediscovered a hometown nostalgia that reminds him of his summers visiting grandparents who lived in a similar-sized city. Jason loves working at Full Access with such great coworkers, who work hard every day to make a difference in people’s lives and the community. He has decades of experience in administrative roles, as well as customer service and other work experience. In his free time, Jason likes reading, writing, playing games, and hanging out with his friends. He loves animals, nature, and camping. He especially enjoys humor, seeing it as a spice of life, capable of helping us cope with our worst tragedies, and keeping us humble in our greatest achievements.

Born and raised in Eugene, Marie graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Human Development and Family Science.  She worked as a Personal Agent from 2005 to 2015 and is excited to be back at Full Access in her new role as a Data Analyst.

My name? You may call me John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmit, or just Randy for short. Let me tell you about this life which I have lead. A great poet once said, “if it’s worth doing you might as well slap some ducktape on it.” I enjoy living my life by those inspiring words.

During my infancy I wanted to grow up to be a dinosaur, and although my favorite titan of the past was the Stegosaurus I wanted to be a strong and ferocious Tyranosaurus Rex.

Onto another topic. “Cats or Dogs,” you ask? BADGERS!

Art’s favorite food is chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. If he were an animal, he would be a wolf, as he likes to travel in a pack. His favorite thing about working at Full Access is helping people daily by assisting them in the goals they want in their life.

Johnna is an identical twin and can play 6 different instruments! She loves the coast, camping, sloths, and her dog, Ginny. She lives by the quote “Every day is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again”

Debbie has worked with people with disabilities for over 20 years, 15 of those years has been as a case manager.

Debbie loves cats and dogs. Her favorite weekend activity is sleeping. Her favorite place that she has traveled is Tokyo, Japan. She would love to be able to have dinner with all 3 of her girls in one place at the same time. Her hidden talent is wiggling her ears!

Kristie was born and raised in Sunnyvale, California and received her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Montana. Her beginnings in this field started at an early age. Her mom owned a home day care where she welcomed many children with varying abilities over the years. In elementary school Kristie volunteered to work in the Resource Room. Trailers were set up in the field and all kids regardless of their level of ability were taught in those rooms. The need for advocacy became apparent at this young age as she questioned teachers and the principal as to why her friends couldn’t be in the same classroom as everyone else. In Junior High and High School she volunteered for Parks and Recreation in Sunnyvale teaching ballet and gymnastics to kids with varying abilities. At the University of Oregon, Kristie worked at Disability Services, helping to make the campus a place where everyone was treated equally and enjoyed the same opportunities. Prior to coming to Full Access Kristie worked 14 years at Alvord-Taylor in varying positions.  She is very excited to continue to help people become integrated into their communities and to teach the community how to be inclusive for all. Kristie’s favorite color is yellow. If she were an animal, she would be a tiger. She can saran wrap the heck out of anything and make it leak proof – and she always finds the silver lining in any situation!

Mandy started at Full Access in December of 2015. She was born and raised in Florence, Oregon and attended Western Oregon University. Mandy has worked with individuals who experience disabilities since 2007. Outside of work, Mandy enjoys spending time with her family on the coast going to the beach agate hunting or just to have fun. When Mandy isn’t on the coast with her family, she enjoys spending time with her friends and going thrift shopping.

Mel likes to dance (especially to 80’s music!), sleep in on weekends, and spend time outdoors. She adores good pizza and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. On her off time, you may find her travelling to our National Parks – or maybe even Italy! Being part of the movement for equality is important to her – and she’d love to be able to see what the world will be like in 50 years!

I love concerts – more so if they are outside. I love to travel! I’m not good at having favorites of things, but if I had to pick an animal it would be Buffalo and my favorite movie is Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone! My dog is spoiled! I have worked in this field for over 15 years – landed in it by accident and stayed because I love it!

Sam plays volleyball twice a week. She loves elephants, and her favorite color is teal!

Sarah is a University of Oregon graduate who loves the color red (specifically RGB Color Picker #C70404). She is a fan of F1 racing – and driving racecars! Her favorite ice cream is Ben & Jerry’s Coconut Seven Layer Bar – and she loves cheesecake… ALL cheesecake!
