Background

About Sarah Speidel

With over eight years of work experience in education and social services, I am a passionate and dedicated Social Service Specialist at WA Department of Children, Youth, and Families. I provide case management, assessment, and intervention services to children and families who are involved in the child welfare system, ensuring their safety, well-being, and permanency. I have a BA in Early Education from the University of Washington, and I previously worked as a Special Education paraeducator for over seven years in two school districts. I have skills and experience in elementary education, special education, and early childhood education, and I have contributed to the academic, social, and emotional development of diverse students with special needs. I am committed to advancing the mission of WA DCYF, which is to strengthen families and protect children from harm. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, and I value collaboration, empathy, and respect. I am always eager to learn new skills and best practices, and I strive to provide high-quality and culturally responsive services to the children and families I serve.
