University of Southern California Suzanne Dworak Peck School of Social Work, Master of Social Work, Adult mental health and wellness track, 2023 — I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Tennessee and a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern (RCSWI) in the state of Florida. I am a recent graduate from the University of Southern California’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, Summa Cum Laude, with her Master of Social Work. Kimberly holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Food Science and Nutrition with a minor in psychology at Middle Tennessee State University. She is currently the USC Phi Alpha Honor Society, Omicron Epsilon Chapter Research Liaison. Kimberly’s MSW focused on the Adult Health and Mental Wellness at USC.
Work HistoryI have been fortunate enough to have worked in various settings across different fields in my life. This experience has been invaluable in helping me understand individuals better and their struggles with work-life balance. I have worked in diverse roles such as a cafeteria and field manager in dental, medical and school systems, warehouse picker/loader, warehouse QA, sales and leasing agent and manager for apartments, as the owner of a housekeeping service, and as a career recruiter. Despite working in different types of careers, I was still trying to find my true calling and passion. Finally, I have found it in helping people through offering therapy and becoming a social worker.
