Saul Petersky BA
I am a Master of Social Work candidate with a deep understanding of low-barrier services in King County for adults experiencing homelessness. I have five years of social services experience including over two years of experience as a case manager at Downtown Emergency Service Center. I am passionate about meeting people where they are with mutuality and patient/person-centered care.
I am a Research Study Coordinator Lead at the Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute (ADAI) in UW Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. I worked at ADAI as a Research Study Assistant in Summer 2023. I also work per diem as a Mental Health Specialist II with UW Medicine at Harborview’s Medical Respite Program. Outside of work, I enjoy backpacking, martial arts, and country dancing.
