After many years of being a stay-at-home Mother, I decided to return back to school and receive my degree in Social Work. With much support from my family, I was able to receive my Masters in Social Work. As part of my Master’s program, I was required to work as an intern at an accredited agency. I had the privilege to work as an intern at VCS. During my time as an intern, I worked with two populations. I worked with the Elder population as well as in the FINS (children and adolescents) program. I completed my time as an intern and after several months later was hired as a Clinician/ Intake coordinator. I began my time working in the office, but then we were hit with the pandemic. I was nervous about returning to the office and I was graciously allowed to work remotely. Having the ability to work from home during such a difficult time was such a gift. I was supported and encouraged to work in which every way I felt comfortable. Working at VCS has been a wonderful time of growth as a Social Worker, both personally and professionally. I have watched first-hand how this amazing career helped change lives through the hard work and dedication that my colleagues have provided. Even more, I have never worked in an environment where not only do the clients matter, but the staff (including interns) matter just as much. I have been so fortunate to be a part of VCS, I will never forget the guidance and support that working here has afforded me.
