MSW Intern
Hope Club is a volunteer-run organization that is a part of the American Cancer Society and aims to provide support and resources to individuals experiencing a cancer diagnosis. I facilitate support groups for cancer patients, families, and caregivers utilizing group intervention strategies to assist members through developing healthy coping strategies to maintain hope and emotional wellbeing. These include skill-building to address fears and worries and connect with peers. I also work in the oncology department at a local hospital providing direct one-on-one support, connecting clients and their families, with cancer/community resources. I conduct screenings to determine patient and family strengths & needs relative to coping with a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and followup. I provide clinical interventions to strengthen coping and psychosocial functioning of cancer patients and their families and provide case management services, including assistance with SSD, Medicaid, and Medicare applications, secure transportation and lodging, and home health care resources and help process applications for cancer care grants and financial resources.

Wesley Community
BSW Intern
I had the privilege of spending a great deal of time with residents, contributing through assisting with needs met, learning about people's daily lives, lived experiences, and the challenges faced each day. I  helped with learning and practicing coping strategies, provided resources for residents and their families, and I created connections for people to provide lasting benefits and changes within the community. I gained a wealth of knowledge from the social work staff and the volunteer coordinator and truly enjoyed my work experience at Wesley.

Research for Missing Persons Book
Conducted background research for a book on Missing Persons, written by a professor at Skidmore College.
Attitudes About Homelessness
This was a qualitative Research Project conducted in partnership with a classmate to investigate prevailing attitudes on our College Campus about homelessness, the causes of homelessness and ideas about how to solve homelessness. It was overseen by our Research Professor and underwent IRB-like review. We conducted 9 30-minute interviews, recording, reviewing and coding the information to evaluate it and presented our findings formally, in presentation form as well as written analysis. Our original goal was to include interviews with people experiencing homelessness locally however our scope was limited by College Administration due to insurance/liability concerns. We hope to continue our research at a later date.
