About Jonathon Haven

Actor | Behavior Analyst | Disability Rights Activist Passionate about creating positive change at the intersection of art, psychology, and advocacy. Professional Overview: As an accomplished actor, behavior analyst, and disability rights activist, I am dedicated to fostering equity both locally in Chicago and nationally in the United States. My unique background includes a wealth of experience in mental healthcare, managing behavioral client outcomes, and active engagement in local and state politics. Artistic Journey: Having received professional theater acting training, I've brought characters to life on numerous stage plays. I am committed to continuing my work as an artist, blending the worlds of creativity and advocacy to inspire social change. My undergraduate studies as a Communication and Theater student reflect my strong communication skills, artistic talent, and a keen ability to understand and critique framing and political rhetoric in the media. This dual skill set positions me uniquely to contribute to meaningful projects that bridge the gap among diverse fields. Behavioral Health Professional: With a Master of Science in psychology, my expertise lies in research, collaboration, education, and diverse office responsibilities. Also, my work as a behavioral health professional underscores my commitment to enhancing individual and community well-being. Seeking Opportunities: I am eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals to drive positive change, challenge societal norms, and promote inclusivity. A recent interest of mine is investigating how to incentivize public transit usage. I hope to find evidence-based research so we invest in more equitable, comfortable, accessible, and robust transit systems in the US.
