Hello Ms. Kianna Mckenzie & Social Work Educators

I am honored to have joined this prestigious group of mental health professional educators.  FYI, I obtained my MSW from the University of Georgia (May 2021) and LMSW Jan 2022.  I graduated from Troy University in 2004 and obtained a Masters in HR Management.

I have to say that I am very excited to have become a Social Worker which had been my life long dream but due to life circumstances I left the Air Force ROTC program (University of Puerto Rico) in 1976 and enlisted in the US Army.  Following a successful Army career I retired with over 20 years of service and have subsequently worked 16 years with the federal government presently Department of Veteran Affairs (Atlanta, Ga).

Finally my goal is simple and that is to become the best Social Worker (according to veterans) by assisting veterans and their family members who are victims of PTSD, IPV, MST, OPOID/SUD (counter-transference having lived around those maladaptive behaviors) and obtaining my LCSW.

I look forward to reading your monthly articles.

Hello all!  I'm excited to be joining this group.  I've been a social worker for 20 plus years working in a variety of roles.  I've worked as a LCSW, Social Work Administrator and Adjunct Faculty for many of those 20 years.  I'm currently working as the Associate Director of the IBH (HRSA-BHWET funded) Program at the University of North Carolina Charlotte and as an adjunct at a local HBCU.  I am passionate about macro practice-program development, policy, program evaluation, etc.

I look forward to collaborating with others.
