I love seeing how students can thrive and grow into productive young adults through the work I do with them. Social work practice in the schools is an essential component to ensuring student success. My job is to address the social and psychological barriers that can block academic progress. Through collaboration with families, community systems and crisis intervention ... our students can overcome the barriers to their academic success, and as a result, give themselves a better chance to succeed in school and in life.
