Neil Wallace

Neil has been a part of the Heritage team since 2017 as the Business Development Partner specifically over the Peers Academy. He started working in direct care with youth in 2010. With a younger brother on the autism spectrum, he found it easy to connect with students on the spectrum, build a rapport with them and understand how they view life. Neil is an incredible addition to a team dedicated to the advancement of continuous innovation at Heritage, extending their vision for better options for the students at Heritage by staying current with research, enhancing efficiency and opening the doors to extend greater opportunities for each individual student in the Peers Academy. Neil understands the students’ needs for structured time and for opportunities where they can meet and socialize, seeing their peers having positive and healthy interactions and engaging in these interactions as well. Neil ambitiously creates an environment where students can feel safe, understood and be comfortable being themselves. Neil loves camping, backpacking, being active and in the outdoors. He is attempting his first 100-miler and enjoys spending time with family, especially playing with his daughter in the park.
