About Us
About the Owner
Andrea Haslam has been a resident of the beautiful state of Colorado since 2000. She earned a Master of Arts in a humanities field from a private institution and accrued nearly two decades of sales and client relations experience before spending five years in Colorado's public schools as an ELD Specialist, Reading Interventionist, ELA Instructor, Administrator of Student Services, and Assistant Principal. Access to quality education and economic stability are both social determinants of health (SDOH), and Andrea traded her role in public education for the opportunity to help improve the economic stability of individuals with disabilities.
About the Agency
After obtaining her certifcation through the Association of Community Rehabilitation Educators (ACRE) and working in Douglas County as a Supported Employment Specialist, Andrea wanted to further contribute to the industry by expanding her services across the state with a team of like-minded professionals. Aspire staff help clients identify and acheive their employment goals while modeling agency core values: optimism, determination, growth, responsibility, and stability.
