Josh Collison is excited to be working with the Oakmont Health Careers Academy as the new Academy Assistant; he is a graduate of both Oakmont and the Health Academy from the class of 2009. He supervises Academy students interning at Sutter Roseville Medical Center.

Josh received an Associates Degree in Natural Science from Sierra College, in Rocklin, and a Bachelor's Degree in Health Science from California Baptist University, in Riverside. He is currently working on his Master's Degree in School Counseling and Pupil Personnel Services Credential through the University of Massachusetts Global.

While he attended Oakmont HS as a student, Josh was an athlete on both the water polo and swim teams. He continued to swim and play water polo at Sierra College and received a scholarship to swim for Cal Baptist University. In addition to it being the place where he trained and competed, Oakmont's pool holds many fond memories for Josh, as it is the pool in which he learned to swim, and the pool where he taught others as a swim instructor & lifeguard for the City of Roseville's Parks and Recreation Department.

Though Josh's days as a collegiate athlete are behind him, he still enjoys competition and has picked up disc golf as his chosen recreational activity.

Josh and his wife have a daughter who amazes them every day and teaches them more about how to be compassionate individuals. They also have two cats and a mini Australian Shepard.
