Kuahman Perez-Murray is a dedicated Financial Specialist at S.L.A.T.E. Family Services, bringing a strong foundation in finance, client services, and team leadership, as well as over seven years of experience working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He holds an Associate Degree in Accounting from Pierce College and is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting at the University of Washington Tacoma.

In addition to his professional expertise, Kuahman’s personal journey has shaped much of his compassion and commitment to the disability community. For the past 21 years, he has supported his brother, who is on the autism spectrum. This lifelong experience has equipped Kuahman with an in-depth understanding of the challenges and strengths that come with autism. Through hands-on support in daily routines, communication strategies, emotional regulation, and goal setting, Kuahman has learned how to adapt care and provide consistent structure while also promoting independence and dignity. His work with his brother has honed essential skills in patience, problem-solving, empathy, behavioral redirection, and advocacy—skills that deeply inform his work at S.L.A.T.E.

Professionally, Kuahman has worked as a Financial Representative at a supported living facility, where he managed client budgets, coordinated disbursements, and ensured financial accountability. He also has experience in data tracking, reporting, account reconciliation, and team building. His calm demeanor, bilingual fluency in Spanish, and ability to work under pressure make him a reliable and approachable team member.

At S.L.A.T.E. Family Services, Kuahman applies both his financial knowledge and his personal insights to ensure that each individual receives not just sound fiscal oversight, but care and support grounded in respect, advocacy, and understanding. His unique blend of personal compassion and professional skill makes him an invaluable part of the team.

We are proud to have Kuahman as part of our leadership team at S.L.A.T.E. Family Services.
