We're excited to introduce new staff to the ECNV family.

Paul Whitney graduated from the College of Charleston with a BA in International Studies. He began his career in disability services in 2018 as a roommate in Northern Virginia for a young adult moving out of his parents’ home for the first time. Here, he gained valuable experience in learning what success looks like for young people with disabilities as they navigate transitionary challenges.

This experience led him to serve in a variety of roles for local non-profits. His focus has been on independent living instruction while helping consumers locate community resources that foster integrated living outcomes. Paul takes pride in advocating for a full-life experience for individuals in the disability community. He has served as a program specialist, a community builder, and a community mentor.

In his free time, Paul enjoys playing in a DC-area flag football league. He also enjoys broadening his world view and understanding of cultural diversity through travel.
