Welcome Mariela Jàcome, Deering's New Social Worker!

Exciting news! Deering High School is delighted to have our newest team member, social worker Mariela Jàcome!

Mariela is super excited to be joining the Deering social work team and Ramily! Mariela is originally from Upstate NY, but has been living in Portland since 2023 when her fiance matched at Maine Medical for his internal medicine residency. Mariela has quickly fallen in love with the Portland community which inspired her to join the school system, having previously worked extensively in medical social work. Mariela has had the privilege of working in the medical field supporting both kids and adults with life threatening and terminal disabilities and diagnoses nationwide, and spent the last three years creating and directing the bilingual services program for the national non for profit, Team IMPACT. Mariela is super grateful for the opportunity to support, empower and learn from the Deering students. In her free time, you can catch her exploring the food scene, traveling, hitting the beach and competing in any and all sports. 

Mariela is here to support students with last names from L to N.  Her office is conveniently located in the guidance office area—just to the left when you walk in.  Please don't hesitate to reach out to Mariela. She's super friendly and ready to help!
