About Spenser Harry Dettwyler
My name is Spenser Dettwyler. I am an eight-year resident of the District of Columbia, and a two and a half year resident of Van Ness. I lived near Logan Circle for five years before moving here. I love Van Ness. I love its walkability, access to transit and groceries, the restaurants here and in Cleveland Park, the weekly farmer’s market, and how close we are to Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo. Van Ness and the District of Columbia are my home.
I attended the George Washington University Law School and completed a joint-degree program, earning both my Juris Doctor and a Master’s in Public Policy. I currently work as a Staff Attorney for Quality Trust for Individuals With Disabilities, a nonprofit that focuses on improving the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. There, I represent clients with disabilities, drafting documents to help them lead more independent lives. As an adult with a developmental disability, that being Autism, I greatly appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to work with people like me.
