JOHN KING, MSW

I serve as the Regional Workforce Pathways Manager for High Sierra AHEC's Workforce Recruitment and Rural Access Program. My work focuses on healthcare workforce development, educational pathway programs, community health initiatives, and expanding access to healthcare careers throughout Nevada.

​

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Nevada State University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nevada, Reno. I bring experience in behavioral health, substance use treatment, workforce development, curriculum design, and community-based services. Prior to entering the health and human services field, I spent more than twenty years in retail and financial services leadership, serving in management, area leadership, and business development roles.

​

I am passionate about helping people discover meaningful careers while strengthening Nevada's healthcare workforce, particularly in rural and underserved communities.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking throughout Northern Nevada, creating graphic art, reading, and exploring different teas.
