Meet Our Staff: Sohei Fujita

Today we'd like to introduce you to one of our awesome Community Health Counselors, Sohei Fujita!


Name: SOHEI FUJITA

What do you do at CCC? 

I work in the Community Health program as a counselor

How long have you been at CCC?

One year as a student intern, two months as a substance abuse counselor and two months as a CH counselor the first time around. And I just came back this June.

Where are you from originally?

I'm from... Texas! Just kidding, I'm from Matsuyama, Japan. Sushi, anyone?

What is your favorite vacation spot?

Deep under the sea! I'm a PADI certified rescue scuba diver.

What is your favorite food? 

 Of course, not sushi. Louisiana gumbo. 

Who is someone you look up to or admire and why?

 My grandmothers who are 85 and 93 years old. They are both strong, loving, and caring. 

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

Ideally I would love to go skiing, snowboarding, or something outdoor, but I haven't had much spare time recently because I am in school. Right now, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our dog. 

What is your favorite place in Las Vegas?

At home with my partner and our dog. Or Colorado River kayaking.

If you could have any animal as a pet, what would you choose and why?

Donkey from Shrek or Ewoks from Star Wars

What would you choose as a career if you were not in this field?

I would be a ski instructor. I almost applied to a ski university in Austria.

What is your favorite thing about working at CCC?

Location, location location! Have you ever been to Fat Choy for lunch? If so, you know why I like working just a hop, skip, and a jump from a Fat Choy Burger! Oh yeah, and the people are pretty wonderful also ;-)

What words of wisdom do you have to share?

昔々、あるところにおじいさんとおばあさんが住んでいました。 
Shorter version: Be respectful to each other.
