Here’s what social work means to them:<\/span><\/p>\n

Emmie Knox, LMSW \u2013 Owner & Director<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI am a social worker because I am passionate about empowering individuals to live their most fulfilling lives and I believe in fostering a sense of community through support and collaboration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kasey Nightingale, LBSW \u2013 Administrator<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI became a social worker because I believe in being a light in the darkest of places, helping people not only navigate challenges but also discover the strength within themselves. It\u2019s an honor to walk alongside others as they find hope, resilience, and the power to create meaningful change in their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Desiree Tarin \u2013 Director of Client Services<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019m studying to be a social worker to advocate for those whose voices are often overlooked. By understanding and supporting others, I believe I can contribute to creating a more compassionate and loving world for everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Olivia Alexander, BSW \u2013 Client Support Specialist<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI’ve known since I was very young that I had an inherent skill in engaging with the older population. I’d regularly be around older people in my personal life and genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with them. I never knew how I’d be able to apply that to my career until I discovered the Social Work field. I’m grateful that Social Work has given me the opportunity to work with the population I’m most passionate about for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Imahn Wakefield, BSW, MPA \u2013 Community Liaison<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI chose this profession to serve as a voice for those who feel unheard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Honoring All Social Workers<\/span><\/h2>\n
