Top Left: Karen Mudd. My undergraduate degree is in pharmacy and I have 25 years of experience as a pharmacist. I am transitioning into a career in social work in order to follow my truth. Once I obtain my Master's in Social Work, I am interested in working with the geriatric population, as well as those in addiction and recovery.
Cathryn Councill. I have over 13 years of experience in social services including working with persons who are homeless, and persons with mental illness and retardation, as well as survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. My goal is to obtain my clinical license once I complete my Master's in Social Work and I plan to continue to work in the field of domestic violence and sexual assault on both a clinical and community level.
Irma. I am currently working with families and children providing educational services to children with developmental delays in their areas of development. After completing my masters degree I will continue to work in the community in order to enhance my skills and abilities in social services.
Christina. I have an undergraduate in psychology. I currently work with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I also volunteer as a deaf interpreter. Once I complete my Master's in Social Work I would like to work with dialysis patients.
Bottom Left: Felina. I have worked with Alzheimer's/Dementia residents in an Assisted Living Facility, Veterans, Adult Protective Services, and the 2007 Texas Legislative Session with Care for Elders. I am pursuing a PhD in Social Work and plan to work in a clinical setting as well as conduct research in the area of intergenerational matching: meeting the needs of one generation with another. My second career will include professorship at the Graduate level.
John. I am on the verge of graduating from the Social Work program. I completed three semesters of internships in Houston hospitals. Most of working life was spent working for retail businesses. I lived in Honduras, Central america for 3 years. Two of those years I worked for Peace Corps. I will likely work as a Social Worker in a hospital after graduation.
Mary Flowers. My undergrad is in Criminal Justice. The populations I've worked with include: those in the criminal justice system, victims of prostitution, dually diagnosed, GLBT, HIV/AIDS and the Homeless. My best friends are my four wonderful (now grown) kids and most especially my husband. In my down time, I love playing with my Coney-doggy (my dachshund). My goal after graduation (after I take a vacation) is to work with the geriatric population with an emphasis on policy.
