Ruben is finishing his undergraduate degree with Moody Bible Institute this fall. Since spending 3 years in Chicago attending college, Ruben got married in August 2023. Ruben’s extensive time volunteering and working in roles such as, camp counselor, assistant youth soccer coach, and teacher’s aide have provided practical experience that not only prepared him for his role at Keswick, but helped him in his degree program. As a Youth Ministry Major, Ruben hopes to have a career within a church as a youth leader or Pastor one day.

“Having just moved to a new area, Keswick is a great opportunity for me to get to know the Charlottesville community. The staff have been welcoming, and the culture is very nurturing to the students. Having experience with boys who have learning differences in my family and amongst friends made pursuing a job here a no brainer. To understand more of the clinical side, live out being a good role model, and to practically apply what I’ve learned in the classroom gives me a lot of excitement when considering my role at the Keswick School for this upcoming year!”

When Ruben isn’t out playing pickup soccer with his friends, he is often spending time with his family in Maryland and Virginia. Ruben can be easily drawn to talking about, watching, or playing pretty much any sport. He also enjoys video games, reading, and eating the many amazing meals that his wife cooks up on the daily.
