Competent, ethical social workers understand the importance of research and how it impacts the practice and delivery of services to our client base. The cycle of being a student does not end once the coursework is completed, rather the diploma serves as a symbol of a commitment to be a lifelong learner. Whether I choose to go into clinical practice or continue my passion for research, I am still a social worker looking to improve services offered by the profession.<\/p>\n

Practice Behaviors<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Use practice experience and theory to inform scientific inquiry and research.<\/li>\n
  2. Discuss critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings.<\/li>\n
  3. Use and translate research evidence to inform and improve practice, policy, and service delivery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Academic Experience<\/em><\/h3>\n

    During my junior year in the social work program, I participated in a campus wide research day. This day was designed for students and faculty to showcase the knowledge they had been preparing all semester. For my presentation, I chose the effects of vicarious trauma on service professionals<\/a> and explored what could be done to prevent further burnout.<\/p>\n

    Field Experience<\/em><\/h3>\n

    The food pantry began in 2013 under the direction of social work students in the Master’s program. Over the course of five years, the pantry fell into a state where it needed to be jump-started by a new set of interns; this was when Dylan and I began working on the project. Having no prior experience running a food pantry, we set out with a mindset to learn as much as possible. Our research<\/a> took time and effort, but it paid off once we began seeing positive results.<\/p>\n

    In the Winter semester, myself, Dylan, and two Junior interns paid a visit to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. There, we met with the head of Scrappy’s Cupboard, Matthew Brown, and saw how a pantry was run. Below is our appointment marker:<\/p>\n
