Life Skills Instructor
Payton Schaub has always prioritized mental and physical well-being. After high school, she played soccer at Illinois Central College for two years. Payton wanted to follow her passion for helping others, so in 2017 she moved to Tampa to study Psychology at the University of South Florida. While working toward her degree she interned with the Public Defender’s Office, leading therapy groups and providing guidance through local homeless shelters and as a result became certified in Milieu Therapy.
Payton graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, and she immediately went to work in the field: gaining experience in crisis management, substance abuse, quality assurance, performance improvement, and vocational rehabilitation.
Payton’s compassion and love for others is exhibited in everything she does.
