Harvey Jaswal - Vocational Counselor

Phone Extension: 
718-725-8925
Background: 
Harvey is our Vocational Counselor, handling affairs in our ongoing partnership with the Consortium for Worker Education (CWE), among other things. Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Harvey has an undergraduate degree in Biology, specializing in Ecology, and Master's in Sociology from the University of British Columbia. While he's worked in public service management for both the North Vancouver School District and in Eco-Restoration (reforestation) in Northern Canadian clear-cuts, it's his Master's thesis on Professional Wrestling which has proven most relevant. Harvey's claim to fame is that he played basketball against Steve Nash in high school on Vancouver Island, once, which provided him with street cred amongst his co-workers for about 5 minutes.
