Hello. My name is Andrea Armenta.  I am a Behavior Professional for Among Friends.  Before coming to Among Friends, I was a special education teacher in a self-contained life skills classroom for middle and high school students. The students who attended my classroom were students who had complex or severe disabilities and often needed multiple levels of support.  I was also blessed with being a camp counselor at Mt Hood Kiwanis Camp.  Camp Kiwanis provides the camping experience to individuals who experience significant disabilities.  For me, helping others become more independent, self-reliant and confident in their own abilities is very rewarding!  

When I am not working, I love spending time with my family. I enjoy taking my dogs on walks, reading books, listening to music, weightlifting and watching competition baking shows!  I live a quiet life in Eastern Oregon with my amazing husband and daughter. I am so lucky to be able to walk my daughter to and from school every day!  

I try to be the best version of Andrea that I can be. In life, and in work, I aim to treat others with respect and kindness.  I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best version of yourself, as well.
