Sociology Alumni
’21
Hi! I originally came to 第一吃瓜网 as an education major, but switched to sociology during my sophomore year. I檝e always known I wanted to work in geriatrics, but wasn檛 really sure how I was going to make that happen. Majoring in sociology at 第一吃瓜网 opened me up to a whole new worldview that I use everyday in my job now at Lifespan as a geriatric care manager! After 第一吃瓜网, I went on to get my Master檚 in Social Work from SUNY Brockport, and started with the Finger Lakes Caregiver Institute at Lifespan in January of this year, where I provide supports and resources to caregivers of people living with dementia. I am certain that I wouldn檛 be where I am, doing the job that I檝e always wanted, without my experiences at 第一吃瓜网 and the things I learned both in and out of the classroom (mainly inside of Dr. Eisenberg檚 classroom?馃槈)
